'''<big>Final Installation — ''Cycles of Oppression''</big>''' | |||
'''Cycles of Oppression''' is a three-channel archival video installation that examines recurring structures of domination, political narration, and mediated images across different historical contexts. | |||
The installation is staged as a domestic viewing environment: an armchair, a floor lamp, headphones, and three CRT televisions place the viewer in the position of someone watching the news from home. Archival material from different times and locations is presented simultaneously across the screens — Egypt in 1917; Egypt and Hungary in 1956; and Algeria between 1955 and 1962. | |||
Rather than presenting these histories as isolated events, the work places them within one field of view, allowing repetitions in the language and representation of power to become visible. The final installation developed from the project's earlier participatory experiments with authority, compliance, exclusion, observation, and the transfer of power, translating these questions into a spatial and archival media installation. | |||
== Screen Structure == | |||
'''Left screen — Egypt, 1917''' | |||
Archival British footage of Egypt, examining an early use of film as a tool through which empire could construct and circulate its own narrative. | |||
'''Centre screen — Egypt / Hungary, 1956''' | |||
American newsreel material moves between the Suez Crisis in Egypt and the Hungarian Revolution, placing two geographically separate conflicts within the same broadcast language and visual framing. | |||
'''Right screen — Algeria, 1955–1962''' | |||
French archival coverage of the Algerian struggle for independence, focusing on the language and visual conventions through which the conflict was represented to audiences. | |||
