Pole Shiroko - Wide-Open Fields, 2005

Video performance with A Cappella Choir Nothing Without Belinda, conducted by Mark D'Astoli

Duration 3:40 mins

The video track offers a journey, documented in early 2004, through deserted built and open spaces in Bulgaria. It is accompanied by the live performance of a Bulgarian folk song Pole Shiroko about fear and the death of hope at the loss of a powerful leader. This piece examines the effects of a people’s reliance for help on outside forces.
