Silence of Reason
The forensic video essay Silence of Reason is thought out as a performative study of a class-action lawsuit brought by the victims of the Foča rape camps, that took place during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, before the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague, in which mass rape and sexual slavery were recognised for the first time in history as a war crime and a crime against humanity. When watching the film, the experiences of violence and the torture of women become a part of our collective memory due to the form of the film, which itself acts as a memory—elusive and fluid, rejecting framing, moving in all directions, spatial and temporal.
