A jerky self-portrait dancing to a Gloria Gaynor song (“I Will Survive”) heard during a street carnival. I spin around myself in my appartment. This video, made at the beginning of the Irak war in 2003 is a superimposition of two simultaneous shots. I turn while looking at myself turning. I’ve chosen this impromptu movement as a personnal reaction against the war and its violent, even immoral, representation by the media.
