for article titled, Three Posters: Reflections on a Video/Performance
Three Posters plays with fiction and truth by offering a voyeuristic view of multiple takes of Jamal Sati's farewell video testimonial, recorded shortly before his suicide mission, and juxtaposing them with an actor's real-time testimonial. The videos consider the limits of truth and its representations, asking: Were the artists violating the sacred space of the martyr in order to critique the concept of martyrdom and the powers that nourish such ideologies?
