isqineeha: Video Stills from An Introduction to the Philosophy of Freedom (2010) Iraqi Artist SADIK KWAISH ALFRAJI صادق كويش الفراجي Part of larger project of paintings and installations, in this short video the artist is seen writing down notes of behaviours, feelings, or actions that are often associated with individual freedom; a concept he disagrees with by maintaing that our society has obliged us into these behaviours/feelings masked as choice when in reality they might have been prescribed: I know that I can choose, but I can not confirm that I am free, for my choices are always confined to conditions beyond my will. What is interesting about his approach to this existential concern is that fleeting period in the video between flipping to a new page and the writing of a new note, in which the blank page by itself could emphasize a minute sense of freedom; constrained freedom. In addition, one might wonder if the underlined final note of death could highlight the sole and only form of freedom, or is it still also a masked belief of freedom much like the rest of ones choices?
