This short documentary follows the process of monument installation of a public sculpture of the first Croatian president, Dr. Franjo Tudjman in Zagreb, by bringing it into a critical and social context as a visual symbol of permanent oblivion and never-revealed truths. FACELESS combines video footage of the monument taken just a few days before its unveiling - when it was still wrapped in a thick layer of nylon - and takes us through a wide range of dynamic actions performed around the statue, from construction preparations, to the protests of masses of people. An aesthetic observation of the wrapped sculpture as an overlay reveals a new surface: revelation through concealment. By exposing it to different weather conditions, changes in sonic, visual and tactile experiences emerge.
