Barricades

‘This tape is a dramatic prophecy that deals with the absurdity of the law in contemporary society. It could be called a video manifesto that integrates documentary images, computer animation and sonic performance. It captures an ominous, sinister and frightening moment of urban reality: a park surrounded by police barricades. On June 1991, New York City Police seized the Lower East Side’s Tompkins Park, ejected the homeless and their supporters and sealed off the entire park behind barricades.’ – Istvan Kantor
