Irena Paskali de / www.irenapaskali.comEAST T(W)O WEST“It seems that all my life I’m dancing on a wire stretched between twofortresses.”Departure - the trip from East to West. It is always like a stretched rope whichis unsecured and you can easily fall and get lost. The rope merges, serves fortransport, but it is not secured.Do all who walk successfully reach their destination?Are all of them satisfied with their trip? We, the Eastman are knownas “bare-man”. What can we lose in the western world? Nothing, only our ownbare life.Arrival I want to present the impact of the politics information which simplytrap us, limit us. Here are meaningful social-political scenes starting from thepast up to today. Politics is everything. It is morning, noon, evening, mum,dad… . We are lactated with it from morning till dark. Our society, our system,our survival and in the end our living depends on politics. Politics decides forwhole our lives. It is our life’s circulation.Survival is an answer to the first. East arrived to the West. Bare footed will heloose himself, of he has found his better road? A question to which I personallydo not have an answer, what do you think about that?2007, video, color, PAL. Date and place of the premiere: 2007, Köln.Script/Conception/Editing: Irena Paskali.
