The interview process is at the heart of Baseman’s work. He heavily edits this recorded material, juxtaposing the finished interviews with film footage taken in and around Soho, to construct narratives that mimic and yet subvert the traditional documentary film format. The end product will be a series of films that are at once semi-narrative, poetic and revealing. The works will create a portrait of a place that is both constant and fleeting.

More than 20 years later, Dave Chappelle still shares his fears and suggests a Mexican vice president as insurance. James Earl Jones has to deal with becoming The Man in 1972 (”It took an accident to make this man President of the United States. What they do to him now won’t be an accident.”) Finally, Obama’s refreshingly honest and thoughtful speech about race in the USA during the election campaign.

There’s also a 1964 clip from the BBC where Martin Luther King predicts a black president in less than 25 years.  Only a few years late…

Recorded by Kerbaj on the balcony of his flat in Beirut on the night of 15/16 July 2006. Silence, space, explosion, boredom, scuffling – the psychoacoustics of modern conflict (it’s very quiet – turn your volume up).

In fact, some think that the Greek playwright Sophocles was writing, in military dramas like Ajax and Philoctetes, about what today we call post-traumatic stress disorder — and that his plays were performed by veterans, for veterans, in part to help them heal.

Now Sophocles is finding a military audience once again. The venue? A Marriott hotel ballroom, where 300 uniformed men and women sit watching, box lunches on their laps…
