In Transit
Lida Abdul AT, AF, 2008, 5', SD video
This piece takes place on the outskirts of Kabul, where the landscape is littered with the detritus of more than 20 years of war and the continued destruction of the land due to bombings etc. It's not unusual to see children playing around sometime within the carcasses of the planes and tanks lying like dead birds fallen from the sky. These are uncanny sights because the presence of these metallic giants is a symbol of sorts for the presence of the physical and psychological traumas of wars that have defined the history of Afghanistan for almost three decades now.
