Video work featuring a music box sculpture created in 2007 which depicts a basque guerrilla fighter from the infamous terrorist group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna slowly dancing to a sugared-down version of Morris Albert’s Feelings.
This highly violent group was known because of their high-profile political targeting throughout Spain before their controversial surrender in 2011. Nostalgia, botched revolutions and the commodification mechanisms present in extreme leftist organizations are mixed to ennunciate a sarcastic comment on the utter failure of radical politics in recent world history.
