enemy staccatos are flying over our heads Dark
forces maliciously oppress us In
the fateful battle that we are destined for Unknown
fates are awaiting us But
we will proudly and boldly raise The
banners of the workers’ struggle The
banner of the great battle of all the peoples For a
better world and a holy freedom To a
battle bloody Holy
and just March,
march forward Working
people Lyrics:
G. Krzhizhanovsky Translation:
Olga Zaharieva Postcard
from in
the morning in the Sydney Central Station pedestrian tunnel, days before the London Underground bombings of the 7th of
July 2005. One
shows commuters walking towards the camera and is projected on one side of a
screen formed by postcards with stills from the video. The
other shows commuters walking away from the camera and is projected on the
other side of the screen. The visual track plays a Russian version of Varshavianka– a Polish song written at the end of
19th century and popular in An
integral part of Postcard from inaction, a process culminating
in the disappearance of the two projections. Those who send the cards will
also help spread a call for a more progressive stance towards social change. |
