Dystopia

72 years ago, in the final scene of “The great dictator”, Chaplin stood in front of the camera and directly addressed the audience with his pacifist speech which discloses the truth through the past but also announces it through the future. Dystopia is in a way a work made in co-authorship with Chaplin. Author intervenes to the original sound inscription from the movie using the video material out of the given online database and by doing that manages to additionally and scenically show the world according to Chaplin, the world we live in.
