NO EXIT
for Ashot Sarkissjan
“In this world where mass murder flourishes amid moral abstractions, it is important that people be permitted to tell their own particular stories of suffering. But if innocent suffering is allowed to divide and rule rather than to join us, there will be no community to spare us from one another.” Joseph Amato 1994
No Exit explores the impossibility of poeticizing human suffering. The video was taped over the course of two days (March 6-7, 2023) in a small room in the basement of the Katholische Hochschule, formerly used as a prison by the Soviet Staatssicherheitsdienst (KGB).
