Iraqi artist Wafaa Bilal presented an interactive video installation. It offers a visually poetic exposition of United States’ intervention in selective parts of the world between 1948 and the present. The artist draws attention to the root causes of much of the hatred directed toward the US government. The work illustrates atrocities committed by the US military and the CIA against many entities resisting or confronting US imperialism.

Before the viewer enters the installation, time is frozen in 1945. The viewer’s presence allows figures from Iwo Jima to morph to life. From the moment of entry, time evolves to the present. Upon completion of this shifting image, a screen on the opposite wall begins: a forty-minute video from 11 different countries affected by US intervention. The installation uses an infra-red camera to constantly take reference frames of the space. When the viewer leaves the space, time returns to 1945.
