With Roger Tebb as performer. This film take
part to the Prague Biennal Peripheries become the centre in
the section Come with me curated by Gea Politi.
There were a woman and a baby about 4 years old,
who were walking, and an older woman, a grandmother or something. I rounded
them up, brought them back down to Meadlo, and we stood around them for
a couple of minutes talking. Among this group, there were children of
all ages and older women. Lieutenant Calley came back to us, and said: "Take
care of them."
So we said: "Okay." And we sat there and watched the civilians. Few
minutes later Calley came back again and said:
"I thought I told you to take care of them." I said: "We're taking
care of them." And he said: "I mean kill them." So I looked at
Meadlo, and he looked at me, and I didn't want to do it. And he didn't want to
do it.
