LESSONS OF WAR

by Peggy AHWESH
2015 / HD / color / sound / 1S / 6' 00

Intrigued by a Taiwanese company that makes short animations to convey world news, I downloaded 50 or so of their YouTube offerings and re-edited them into episodes about the 2014 Israeli-Gaza war. The “cuteness effect” of the cartoon form, and the buffer it allows from reality, makes for economical and stress-free viewing. We get the information in an abstract and simplified form, easy to convey the narrative of war with a post-image sensitivity to the viewer.
