Peace takes its starting point from a found super 8 film material and is a collaboration between me and Lisa Marr. I’ve asked Lisa to read the word peace in 17 different languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, Polish, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Hindi and Urdu.The Film can be seen as a commentary on a time when voices for peace have been held back and rearmament is taking place around the world.
