You Will Never Be Alone In This Room (2011)

"This video is about political prisoners, madness and people who were put in jail because of their ideologies (religion or beliefs that their government does not support). To create a visual metaphor I was trying to make an old fashioned window with steel bars, as a representation of the prison cell. For sound, (I wanted) something powerful as a contrast, using repetitiveness, roughness and scratchiness. My idea for the soundtrack came from thinking about political prisoners alone in the cell, exposed to a series torture events, from psychological to physical. Also reading Steve Goodman's book Sonic Warfare - Sound, Affect, and the Ecology of Fear (2009), and watching Al Jazeera every week"
