END:CIV examines our culture's addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: “If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?”

A decoded, alien environmental message, structured as a hypnotic experimental film, forcefully and poetically warns us of their return and the planet's re-colonization. According to Stephen Hawking, "if aliens ever visit us, the outcome will be much as when Christopher Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans." In this case, just who are the natives?

Documents from the dark side of the empire. Government and corporate promotional material from military, pharmaceutical, digital and other mega industries...promoting them and their unspoken interests. A worrying promotional video of damage post-September 11, directed by Klaus Obermayer, in which revenge is encouraged by pushing the buttons of entrenched psycho-social cliches: virility, "they say Americans boys aren't hard enough", "24 hours a day, 7 days a week".

The title refers to Nietzsche's call to dissolve the figure of the enemy, which, according to a Derridian reading, implies “a revolution of the political”. Today, dissolving the figure of the contemporary archenemy -terrorism- implies regaining a space for politics somewhere beyond the narrow dichotomies that the current obsession with security has driven us to. By reviewing the events leading up to the Madrid bombings on the 11th of March 2005, this video offers a reflection on terrorism as representation and the way it is used in order to indefinitely prolong a state of exception in western democracies. It poses the question: How is it possible to escape from the logic of permanent global war?

The human, the other, the same one. The dummy. An experimental look into the fake and real world of mannequins. Subjects as contemporary urban life and death, aesthetics and sickness, loneliness or fear are subtly portrayed through this video wave, exposing this static people as the mirror of human being. What are they looking at? What are they waiting for? “I'd like the reading of this book to leave you with the impression that you've traversed a sensual nightmare” Fernando Pessoa "The Book of Disquiet"
