In a more political piece: "One by One" (2004), the video focuses on the waist height with the camera moving rapidly horizontally from one side to the other, the screen filled with a row of uniforms forming an unofficial block of faceless guards. Mirroring the viewer’s subjective body position, it serves as a powerful visual metaphor for the individual blocked by the anonymous grey uniform of state power as we listen in the background to the light and free chirping of the birds in the embassy area.
