THIS WE WILL DEFEND (PART III)

2014, One-Channel Video (2:36)

Excerpt

 

THIS WE WILL DEFEND is the third installment of the trilogy about death (S.T.T.L.), money (EVER UPWARD), and war (THIS WE WILL DEFEND).

For the short video I asked an Afghanistan war veteran to analyzes the idea of war.

The trilogy is an exploration of the notion of fear and anxiety existing in our culture caused by threats which are perceived as risks to our lives which simultaneously are out of our control.
