A man and a woman continue
to discuss without understanding each other. Each uses his/her own
invented language. The words of hope, left on the site by visitors,
confront the images of war found on the web.
'confrontation' leads to an incapacity
to define war and hope as opponents, but lets them seem more as
striving forces that appear on every level of our lives. Up to a
point that sometimes we can find hope in the image of war and war
in the hope phrases.
This piece used flash, php, mysql. Because flash stopped working in 2020 The piece is now archived as a video from 21/02/2019
that shows how it worked at the time. Please note that a lot of images on war had also disappeared since the piece was made in 2003.
