"Prohibited Area" poem and art video lili-oto

TRANSLATION OF THE TEXT IN ENGLISH OF VIDEO :


"Prohibited Area"

With the destruction of the Berlin wall,
it's one of the signs, one of the spaces
of exclusion which disappears.

I don't take any interest in the wall itself,
but in the "inter-space between the walls",
this prohibited area, this no man's land.

Symbol of the breach between two
political and economic systems, it
materialized interdictions, and was an
invitatation to desires, dreams, and
to the most senseless ideals.

My mother country was this no man's land,
for ever now it will be diluted
and scattered... Lili-oto
