FOUNTAIN ACTION. POLICE THREATEN CITIZEN WITH PSYCHIATRIC WARD

Symposium

In 2016, a woman was forcefully taken out of the empty fountain at Yerevan’s Republic Square and delivered by ambulance to the Nubarashen psychiatric ward. The next week, another woman repeated the same action, and once again police were quick to threaten to hospitalize her, but changed their tune after making a few phone calls. This short film documents this repetition, or re-enactment, of the incident.
