RED WAVES
Somebody is sending some massage but we can't
see him and probably we can't understand what he is saying because he
is using a Morse code. The Morse code is an old-fashioned and basic
way of communication and is related with some particular historical
issues as well as with some extreme communication circumstances. To
emit a signal always imply a receiver, when the receiver is absent there's
not communication and as a consequence the sender is just emitting signals
to the empty space, to the ether, then his situation could develop into
desperation and isolation.
RED WAVES present the spectator as the receiver
and also as the sender but in both cases he couldn't understand what
is really happening.

Spass Muss Sein!
March 2005 I traveled around in Germany, in the
neigbourhood of Karslruhe. Driving by car, visiting cities as Frankfurt
and Köln on your way back home, Brussels. At some stops (Raststätte),
you look around, take some fresh air and then again back driving further.
Traveling by car, is like looking constantly to a movie. The exception
here, is that you are the director and that you can change the story
whenever you want. Spaß muß sein! Is a common expression in Germany
someone told me. As tourist you are always all ear to habits and expressions
people have in the country you¹re traveling in. It sounds nice and at
the same time oppressive. You have to enjoy! It sounds also like you¹re
in a club and the animator is trying to enjoy the daily tourists. All
they want is that you feel comfortable. As the messages when you¹re
traveling by train: Šen vous souhaitant un agréable voyageŠwir wunschen
Ihnen eine angenehme Reise...we wish you a good trip...we wensen jullie
een aangename reis... The accident is the only factor which can disturb
this harmony.

Banu Cennetoglu: Are there any palmtrees in Grozny?
November 2004 a shopping mall called Piramit
was demolished after 20 years of illegal presence Flattened land received
39 imported palm trees and became a candidate for a ŒPlage¹ July 2005
an insider announced that a ŒPlage¹ wouldn¹t happen instead a nightclub
would be This land won¹t host anything It is a void
T.C.D.D. Turkish State Railways Recreation Camp
It was for railways workers and their families to come and swim Now
it is a tired place with a fancy entrance where nobody swims Since 6
years the camp has been divided 160 Chechen refugees live in one third
of it Most of them are from Grozny and have no official ID A black force
is boring the void
Military Zone is green and forbidden for civilians
The houses of the generals take always the best locations of the cities
They must be invisible for the maps where the city of Bursa replaces
Istanbul Their must be safe presence greatly matters so they erase the
others Meanwhile the officially absent black force keeps boring the
void

Rosa Barba:It's
gonna happen
It¹s gonna happen, 16mm, colour, optical sound,
3min, 2005
The Film is separated in two different narrations,
one is played back from the optical sound track of the movie, where
we listen to a fictional phonecall conversation of "a³ president and
his collaborator, planing a coup for the same night. The images show
synchronously a description -projected as a science fiction filmscript-
of the city by night in which the phonecall takes place.
