Description

In the ruins of his childhood home, Bell reads a number of passages from his essay "Bell’s Theorem" (2002). The house was bulldozed by the government when Bell was fourteen, displacing his family. The systems perpetuating and sanctioning these and other related forms of colonial injuistices are central themes in the artist’s work.
