Drawdown Date (Neutral Political Space) from David Knowles on Vimeo.
Drawdown Date (Neutral Political Space) is a performance and installation executed for the project Des Chapitres du Conflit in collaboration with the Office for Collaborative Sustainability at the former Iraqi Embassy to the German Democratic Republic in Berlin. By scrapping, sweeping, mopping and sanitizing a single room of the embassy I attempt to demonstrate futility of imposing neutral/abstract political orders upon the material traces of an unknown history.
