Sand Creek Equation

Travis Wilkerson 2011 docu 25 min.

With Sand Creek Equation, Travis Wilkerson (An Injury to One, 2002 Who
Killed Cock Robin?2005) employs a deceptively poetic style to suggest some
terrible parallels link the 2008/9 war on the Gaza Strip to the 1864
massacre of Native Americans at Sand Creek, Colorado. Wilkerson is a US
based political auteur, whose many genre defying and award winning works
include Accelerated Under-Development: In the Idiom of Santiago Alvarez,
his portrait of (and homage to) the great radical Cuban film maker Santiago
Alvarez. Other recent works at the limits of radical politics and
experimental art include his multimedia performance project "Proving
Ground", combining texts, live music, films, imagery, and audio files to
explore the development of bombs, bombing technologies, and their
corresponding aesthetics. Sand Creek Equation is his first work directly
related to Palestine.
