“DEFINING SILENCE Famagusta-Cyprus 28.5 km/hr”, 15 minutes, silent, 2009.
Defining Silence’ political approach is against fuelled nationalism and militarism. Facing the given reality of Famagusta’s ghost town under Military Occupation, a grey wolf strolls in and out of the periphery.

The End? Without a word, the wolf went straight to the grandmother’s bed, where Little Red Riding Hood found him.
