Gambella Stories

"Gambella stories" presents words and pictures collected in and about Gambella, a remote place on the Ethiopian border with Southern Sudan. A place entangled with wars, failed dreams of reason and casualities of unproductive globalisation.

"Gambella Stories" is not a proper documentary or an essay but a thoughtful daydream. The disconnection between pictures and texts tries to reflect the disjunction between the apparent quietness of the place and the concealed ongoing dynamics of violence.

The narratives parrallels Conrad's Heart of Darkness sarcasms: going down a river, searching for light in the Heart of Darkness.
