took off.. let me know if someone is veery interested to watch
the story:
3 months after arriving in Berlin i was very much into "terror" as a subject matter to an audio visual work i was planning. 1st of may in Berlin is notorious for being a massive riot spectacle, 9000 policemen from all over germany are coming to handle this violent ritual that became a tradition in the city. in the name of anti-fascism, anti-globalisation, anti-whatever, people are going out to the streets and start a little war with heavily armed police forces. it's something i've never seen before, even when i did ENG shooting in the times of the palestinian uprising in israel, since here it's the legal, ordinary citizens turning the city upside down, out of a very basic urge of violent (!? to simplify it . . . it is more complicated... anyway)
so there i was, with my PC3 in the frontline, until the demonstrators started to withdraw and i forgot myself somewhere in the bushes, framing the upside down red car. you'll see how it ended in the clip. what you can't see (only hear my scream in the "off") is the policeman hitting the back of my head with the truncheon. what you also can't see (i didn't have enough space on my server) is how my camera keeps on recording, while i was bleeding all over and sure my camera is dead.
still have a scar on the back of my head to tell the story
