Part of the project will
be presented as an exhibit of contemporary art and will intend
to research through the self-analysis of selected artists their
attitude towards themselves within the frame of the key words
and the themes of the theory panel. They will, therefore, present
by means of contemporary art the seeds and germ of violence; the
hidden and evident self-destructive instincts of the individual;
the fear and aggression of survival. They will attempt to raise
questions concerning the extent to which the methods of social
control influence the individual’s psyche; the importance of self-appreciation;
how human nature can be expressed and summed up into social moods
and tendencies channeled by the dominating ideology in wars and
military operations. The contemporary context of humanism/humanity
and where the innate personal psychological imperative concerning
the Other lies, and what freedom means in that respect. If it
is true that “my freedom ends where yours starts,” then obviously
that is also where indifference towards the Other begins. And
the victims of indifference are classified as “accidents.” The
project also intends to inquire how and where exactly the said
personal freedom ends, that invisible, personal Gaza
Strip, overrun and questioned daily. Violence will be researched
as an individual’s innate potential and/or a natural reaction
provoked by circumstance, which, if suppressed, turns inward,
and leads to self-destruction. A self-destruction that may reach
collective dimensions.
