In order Not To Be Here
Deborah Stratman, 2002, 16mm, 33'
A nocturnal study of the suburban and corporate landscapes of the Unites States, revealing how much the collective trust in surveillance and security determines our living environments. An everyday horror film, which mercilessly addresses the feelings of moral failure, spiritual emptiness and isolation-based paranoia which are proper to our post-industrial consumption society. The night has become the perpetual twilight; it no longer reflects the fear of the unknown, but of ourselves.
