From the Film Maker...

I tried to use the green of the trees and the brown of the earth. The orange suit worn by the man on the left of the painting inspired the colour for the suit of the prisoner in my film.

The pale skin of the naked witches gave me the idea for the white suit of the torturers.

The painting gives a general sense of chaos and anxiety. It's a ‘Dance Macabre', creating a sense of confusion and desperation and the illusion of different sounds, coming from different directions.

Phrases like ‘War on terror' work as a magical spell in our society creating fear and sanctioning procedures to obtain control of it.

The man with the hood on the left and the hanged man on the tree together remind us of Iraq – remember the image of the tortured hooded man at Abu Ghraib?

The orange suit of the man standing on the monster reminds me of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners.
