about the piece:<br>
</font></font><i><font face="Arial" size="-1"><br>
</font></i>
<blockquote><i><font face="Arial" size="-1">« </font></i><i><font
face="Arial" size="-1">Camp Victory </font></i><i><font face="Arial"
size="-1">»</font></i><i><font face="Arial" size="-1"> is a
collaborative work between composer Gilles Aubry and
writer Stéphane Montavon, both from Switzerland. This piece is a radio
version containing excerpts from a 2005 live
performance and parts which were recorded previously in the countryside
in Switzerland. <br>
<br>
The main source for the
text were blogs and war reports by American soldiers collected by the
authors on the internet. In addition, fragments of diaries written by
French soldiers during WWI and quotations of Slavoj Zizek’s « Welcome
to the Desert of the Real » have also been used. Once
collected, the texts have been freely adapted and transformed using
various techniques,such as translation into French, cut-up writing, and
random text generators. The final result was then recorded by
the authors and guest voices as a four-track tape composition,
together with additional sounds. For the live version of </font></i><i><font
face="Arial" size="-1">« </font></i><i><font face="Arial" size="-1">Camp
Victory </font></i><i><font face="Arial" size="-1">»</font></i><i><font
face="Arial" size="-1">, the composition was played over headphones to
four
performers with a different track for each. The performers were
asked to repeat the words and sounds they heard as best as
they could, while the sound of the original composition remained
hidden from the audience. <br>

Criticism Institute Eikones in Basel and teaches French literature

by Gilles Aubry on Camp Victory :</font><font face="Arial" size="-1"> <br>
<br>
</font><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="-1">« The
invasion of Iraq by the coalition’s troops started on the 20st of
March 2003. I remember that day very well and how I was shocked. We
had been following on TV the preparation of the war for the past six
months, with its permanent flow of propaganda including speeches by
president Bush and Tony Blair, General Colin Powell’s presentation to
the United Nation Security Council, staged images of aircraft
carriers in the sunset, and the powerlessness of worldwide protests.
When the invasion finally started I became speechless, silence being
the only option remaining after the liquidation of my remaining few
illusions not only about democracy and justice, but also about the
power of reason, art, and the history lessons to have contributed to a
somehow civilised society. Later on I discovered the existence of
blogs on the internet by American soldiers and became fascinated by
their dispassionate, cold-blooded tone while reporting on their
daily-life in Iraq. As I was asked to compose a new piece for a
festival in Switzerland in 2005 I decided to use these texts as main
source material. </font></i><i><font face="Arial" size="-1">« </font></i><i><font
face="Arial" size="-1">Camp Victory </font></i><i><font face="Arial"
size="-1">»</font></i><i><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="-1">
is not a piece about the war in Iraq,
but rather a reaction and commentary on its mediatization and on the
discourse underlying its justification. It should be made clear that
all the violence displayed in the piece is addressing the discourse of
the invaders themselves and their societies, since the invaded
populations were not given a voice from the beginning. »</font><font
