1
00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:08,130
The material tells you,
"Okay, you are doing quite well."

2
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:09,870
"I like you like this."

3
00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:12,140
"Go further. Stop here."

4
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,180
You play and you test your borders,
as a small chihuahua, or dog.

5
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:20,100
You try to see who is the master
and the material always stops you.

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,080
Mostly I take my works from anecdotes,
like my childhood.

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,020
I was born in Kurdistan, Iraq.

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,620
Kurdistan is a minority in Iraq.

9
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:45,440
Color TVs didn't come to Kurdistan because

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,100
the government is not investing always
in those minority areas.

11
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,220
So my father was putting color foil
on the TV.

12
00:00:56,380 --> 00:00:59,220
One week we had it red,
one week we had blue.

13
00:00:59,980 --> 00:01:01,600
The whole city was doing that.

14
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,980
It's a very silent protest.
