Bitter Lake (2015) is a thought-provoking documentary that delves into the intricate web of politics, manipulation, and control surrounding the conflicts in Afghanistan. With a focus on the Helmand Province, the film examines the oversimplification of the Afghan Civil War and its connection to September 11, 2001. Through a lens of fear and conflict-of-interest, it reveals the devastating consequences of the opium trade, the feedback loop of violence, and the role of the US in perpetuating the carnage. Bitter Lake exposes the influence of Gulf War politics, the arms industry, and financialization, shedding light on the impact of neoliberalism and the oil crisis. It uncovers the subterfuge, propaganda, and manipulation by Islamic fundamentalist groups and exposes the political myths perpetuated by the Big Lie. The film also explores the complex dynamics of assassination, the rise of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and the role of crony capitalism. Through a lens of religious movements, it examines the theological doctrine, religious intolerance, and fundamentalism in ultraconservative Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia. Bitter Lake presents a compelling and eye-opening critique of the intertwined forces that have shaped Afghanistan and the global consequences of these events.

Real time development of a video feedback, processed and controlled through a video keyer. Sound results from video signals, interfaced with audio synthesizer.

The term hysteresis soberly describes a processual behaviour where the previous history affects the result as much as new changes. Robert Seidel enters analogue drawings, performance footage of the queer dancer Tsuki and pluck sounds and drones by Oval into a feedback system that reorganises time and movement in a multicoloured and sensual organic tableau.
