THE GAME
Video 7:48 min. HD
Bihaç | Bosnian-Croatian Border | 2022
The video THE GAME reports on life and survival of people with migration experiences through the aesthetics of gaming. Escape routes are shown on a smartphone from the perspective of a young Afghan man. The device is reminiscent of a VR game console. In the voiceover, the protagonist can be heard describing the different forms of escape and pushbacks that he personally experienced. A subtle sense of menace and tension underpins his account.
