Video 1998
duration 1' 50"

Found footage re-edited

This video is a continuation of the work of Words in Silence. Found footage from an interview with an American war veteran addresses memories of the day his division marched into a German concentration camp.

Although the interview constitutes a ‘telling’ of that story after fifty years of silence, the video interferes with that process by removing the spoken words and inserting cuts and delays. It gives again an impression of the man’s desire to articulate an experience and of a private world with untold stories.

(With acknowledgement and respect to the speaker, Michael Calendrillo, 89th Infantry Division,
American Army, Ohrdruf, Poland, April 1945 )
