Composed from different projections (3TVs / and a big screen) in each projection the image timing changes. The work itself is an illustration figure of a historical event that recounts the brutal and often repressed moment of human being. The unique use of cut out technique of the original photo is away to insert it into new timing.
The representation method is a translation of the past into the present. Translating also the historical context of the original photo into a present one which confirms the human struggle to prove himself to the group and the struggle between cultures.
The work is based on LOOP technique as a new narrative form. Considering the fact that the material sources of the work are fixed images. The Loop comes as rebirth, the rebirth of the meaning, rebirth of time and rebirth of context. In loop structure there is no end and no beginning, it is a repetition which in this work means "a series of events that happen regularly and usually lead back to the starting point".
The related point between the history event of the image and the recycled image is the human perception, memory and self-awareness.
