Omer Fast

Description:

Documents an interview of a young American Army sergeant by Fast in a dialog about the narrative. The artist states that he is interested only in memory and how memory gets mediated without political bias. Although the work is politically ambiguous, it shows the powerlessness of the American Army sergeant dealing with the perception of American interference during the Iraqi conflict.
