MUSEUM PIECE
(HOTEL DIARIES 2)

by John SMITH
2004 / Mini DV / color / sound / 1S / 12' 00

Germany, October 14th, 2004. While the Iraq war continues, a day's sightseeing and the features of a German hotel provoke a stream of thoughts about events large and small.

"Using the smallest means to tell a great deal, MUSEUM PIECE is both a personal film and also a reflection on social and political issues, combining humour with serious commentary on past and present concerns. It brings to the foreground the difficulties of taking a position, facing the complex realities of our times."
— International Jury Statement, 50th Cork International Film Festival, Ireland, 2005

"MUSEUM PIECE is a seemingly simple but very precise film by and about John Smith. The film speaks in a unique way about the complexities of human existence in a world where we, the fortunate ones, try but cannot escape the world and the guilt created by our actions."
— International Jury Statement, One World International Human Rights Film Festival, Prague, 2005
