"White man, we are going to take your truth away!" The same video is shown two times during the performance in two different contextual frames that transforms perception of the videos content drastically. It is shown how strong the presentation of any given material is shaping our perception of that material, as well as how we, as viewers, are used to allow transformations of meaning in accordance to continuous change of contexts. |
| Another metamorphosis present in the piece is that of the protagonists. Besides changing their cultural identity during the performance (they start out as native American Indians talking to the "white men" and end up as white men analyzing the statements of the native American Indians) they change view from subjective first person point of view to objective analyzing third person description. This change, though present in most people's lives, seems radical when displayed within the frame of one 15 minute performance. |
