This project takes part in a series anti-war projects: CORPUS URBANUS and BLACK RAIN # an anti-war project – interactive video installations and ESSAY ON CRUELTY OR MR. FATZER MEETS THE QUEEN OF SPADES, a live cinema performance.

# 07 ESSAYS ON CRUELTY is based on a research on wars mediated images and the pathologic disease that creates this violence – pure perversion, thirst for power and cruelty. Alice was chosen to talk about the human stupidity and greediness. Inspired by the text of Lewis Carroll, a female character cross this war scenario to discuss the relations of power,  banality and mediatization of evil and the imaginary that supports this cruel and no-sense situation.
