"Living in Aphasia" is intended as an impressionistic collage depicting the recent fictional history of a small nation. The conflicts caused by colonial imperialism are the fuel for this manufactured history. The sometimes amusing content allegorises and reflects our current world experience. This ironic work also draws parallels between the illness aphasia and the natural difficulty in facing a foreign culture. (Aphasia is a condition where the ability to understand or use language is severely impaired, in some cases to the point where even gestures are incomprehensible.) The idea of cultural confusion as illness is underscored with glimpses of medical information about this condition being almost subliminally revealed.
