The video "History is Not Mine" is a direct response by the artist to the Printemps de Septembre in Toulouse, which was entitled "History is Mine" and in which an installation entitled "Technologia" by the artist was withdrawn by the organization. "History is Not Mine" comes from the disillusioned: the video features a character typing on a typwriter with hammers instead of the keyboard. Only the ribbon is red, suggesting that the text appears in letters of blood exposing the diffficulty in constructing the sentences.
