Black Bullets was recorded at a mountaintop citadel in Haiti, the largest in the Americas and built after the rebellion as a defensive measure for the new state. To this day, the citadel stands as a symbol of the emancipation. A series of black figures move in a looping sequence across the silvery sky tp the pulse of a heavy, hypnotic drone-like sound. Unlike the figures in some of Jeannette Ehlers’ other works in the exhibition, the subjects have not been erased here. On the contrary, they are united with their reflected images, merging with them, almost like bullets gradually being cast.
