The second part of a series of attempts to give concrete form to the notion of intersticiality, this videotape addresses issues of nationalism and the nation-state, temporal polarities, alienation, the rejection and construction of political identities, ethnofascism, the body as object and metaphor, agents, monsters and abjection, subjective affinities, and the objectivity of trust. The material was recorded while leaving the family home, arriving in New York and Vienna, and then traveling through the former Yugoslavia (stopping in Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Belgrade, and Skopje) shortly after the NATO bombings.
