This long-term project investigates systems of government and their interpretations of the notion of freedom. Starting-point was a stay as a 'Researcher in Residence' in Christiania (for more information

The project is comprised of three scripted video works, each performed by the same actor in different roles.

The first video is recorded in Christiania, a free town at the centre of Copenhagen that was created in the early 70s, which continues to reject the ownership of houses and infrastructure and practise consensus democracy. Informed by interviews with its residents the video addresses issues of self-government and
self-policing. The second two works were filmed in London, and are based on interviews with left wing and right wing libertarians who actively campaign against violations of freedom, by governments or otherwise, today. In all three works the issues of freedom and participatory democracy are addresssed, each drawing very different conclusions.
