The Interview. 2008
Colour video with sound (7:09 min)
The Interview is an indirect narration of the real-life story of Dr. Anmaar Abdul Nabi, an Iraqi doctor who came to the United States in 2008. Dr. Abdul Nabi has been working at St. Louis Memorial Hospital, looking for a cure for the bird flu. The video consists of two separate interviews, shown on a split screen: on the right, Dr. Abdul Nabi is interviewed by local St. Louis reporter Anne Marie Berger; on the left, Eğrikavuk coaches the doctor on how he should formulate his answers. Through the metaphor of the bird flu, the video brings up issues of war, migration and homeland
