Message from behind a Wall
moving picture by Agricola de Cologne
The segregation wall in Palestine constructed by the Israeli is a fact. Its actual goal is not for security reasons, as officially proclaimed, but to separate the Palestine residential areas from each other. In November 2004, an artistic action against the wall ended, taking place at six different places in Palestine where walls were under construction, initiated by Palestine artists by inviting artists from different countries to paint an artistic message on the concrete.
When I was in Bethlehem in February 2005, I visited several places where the Israeli were erecting the wall. The part of the wall I was filming, is situated in opposite of the AIDA refugee camp (UN), and was at that time a temporary playground for children. And these children made their own contribution to the huge wall paintings.
"Message from behind a Wall", featuring Faten Nasdas, one of the initiators of the wall paintings, is transporting different messages, but the main message represents the action of children's innocence.
The moving picture is a unique document of the day of 17 February 2005. I am sure, now, some weeks later, the same place is now looking like completely differently, as the construction of the wall will have been more and more completed, meanwhile.
