Philosopher's Republic
videoinstallation



Philosopher's Republic is a video installation project in which Darja Stocker and Mohamed-Ali Ltaief portray social movements and artistic expressions during the 'democratic transition' in Tunisia. In the aftermath of the 2011 uprisings, writer Darja Stocker and artist Mohamedali Ltaief experience the counter-revolutionary period of upheaval in Tunis, Cassrine and Cairo, as well as the subsequent changes in Europe. In moving and freeze images, in evolving dialogue, they accompany their protagonists through the transitional period in Tunisia and, in between, through the spiral of violence in Egypt, as the boundaries between here and there become blurred.
