A ten year old reads selections from Sun Tzu's The Art of War as images of a defunct bunker appear. Shot in Berlin in the underground headquarters of Erich Honecker (the leader of the German Democratic Republic from 1971-1989) as well as the Stasi, this piece focuses on historical artifacts as a means for thinking through permanent war.

Funding for this piece was provided by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation/Stiftung.
