Each of the performers reads from a document created by Attie that combines sections of the Israeli Declaration of Independence (1948) and the Palestinian Declaration of Independence (1988), revealing a surprisingly significant overlap between the two original texts. The complex editing and post-production work integral to creating this symphony of voices and the interaction among the eight monitors was completed during Attie's residency in the Wexner Center's Film/Video Studio Program in 2010.
