I AM THE ENEMY

What remains of the enemy once the killing is done?

I AM THE ENEMY YOU KILLED, MY FRIEND draws on Wilfred Owen’s war poem as a point of ignition. Not a reconstruction of battle, but a field where its logic starts to crack. A quartet moves through the space: bodies, sound, camera. Evidence circulates. Blame changes hands. War hovers in the room like an unresolved case.

Live video folds the audience back into the image. Watching becomes exposure. The battlefield is close. Perhaps uncomfortably close.
