Sand in the Eyes
Rabih Mroué
For many years, Rabih Mroué has been dealing with images of violence, the mechanisms of martyrdom worship and political propaganda. For “Sand in the Eyes” he collected images and recruiting videos of extremists and held talks with the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Germany. The focus is on videos especially tailored to the viewing habits of young people. What do these videos reveal about those who produce them? And how do they succeed in recruiting young people for terrorist causes?
