Three Love Songs. 2010
Three-Channel video and sound installation
The visitor first enters a corridor, and hears Iraqi songs that were commissioned by Saddam Hussein to glorify his regime. In the next room, the visitor is confronted with 3 sychronized video projections. Each shows a blonde "Western" chanteuse, singing the same songs as though they were passionate love songs. The actual meaning of the lyrics appear subtitled in English.
