This seemed to work last year... Mona Hatoum, a reaction.

FROM 25TH SEPTEMBER 

thank god it's only 15 minutes. 

okay it's with her mum, I don't, oh wait... the translation has started. 

I really don't get this, im too tired for this, god. 

right so; reading of her letters -> when the war was going on?

her dad is angry? (good one)

what a nice length! 

nope still going

Highlights the things that go on during war that media doesn't cover. 

2 different languages 

people who have been involved during the war/wars. A personal story but at the same time not really because it can be relevant to a lot of women.

OPEN WORK, that can be relatable to a lot of people.

Mundane conversations that have been made more public, kept in the dark by dominant ideology/

mixture of sound and images, no film used - works really well, very effective. 

metaphorically taps into maps and journeys.

(it's a metaphor hazel grace)

Through re reading my notes I can see how my opinion changed of this work, throughout it, I approached it close minded at first however when I got the concept it was a lot more easy for me to understand. 

I really like the use of photography and the letters overlaying the photos, along with the voice overs it was a really detailed piece of work. 

I really liked the themes behind it and how complex it would seem at first but how simple it was in terms of the message it was trying to get across.
