DICERE, 2014 - 2018

Dicere#1, (2014), combines, in compressed lint, the satellite transmission of a drone target with a narrative based on the account of two witnesses, Zubair, 13 and Nabila, 9, who testified at a Congressional Hearing on Drone Strikes in Washington on October 29, 2013. The strike, which killed their grandmother, took place in North Waziristan a year earlier.

 

Dicere #2, (2018), combines the satellite transmission of a drone target with a narrative based on accounts by witnesses of a US Hellfire missile attack on their wedding convoy. They were traveling to celebrate a cousin’s marriage in the Radaa district of central Yemen on December 12, 2015.
