Heal the world, 2007



Video consists from three parallel fluent outlines. Like a primer element author applied re-format record song Heal the world from Michael Jackson. Frame element is produced by black and white photographs of children and youth from 30. year 20th. century acquired from Internet. Video is filled up with rendering lyric in captions. During attentive observation of the record you can feel suspense - doubt as a spotlight, what is contradictory to suggestive peace from caption of song. Step by step the video discovers the genesis of the children - they grow up in Hitler´s third reich and they belong to the preferred Aryan race.
Composing videos - cutting composition, reconsider deposition individual shot, which author evenly according to nature insert toward resident finisher from caption, is manifest, that he has tendency to create gradation, leading to the feeling of manipulation without masks as strong weapon of propaganda. This attitude of author you can recognize from hyperbolic of monstrous practice of fascist regime (expressed also in attitude towards to children, he achieve it by linked between pictures, music and capture extract from aboriginal context, through this he metaphoric revert the hit to detection of propaganda.
Interesting is subversive stroke towards musical source. Mention about manipulation practices of singer, which are also kind of propaganda, but they are hidden by stylize of M. Jackson to position of Messiah. Near interpretation of this video is still appropriate remember initial version too, which is basically very like this, slick that author shift, or turn some its building up elements. Main element - Children - stay in both versions, but in original version they are present as like victim warlike misunderstanding, here adapting video they are present as a component of militarist regime.
