Up until its bowels, between the fibers of its muscles and along its irrigation channels, the body exposes itself, exposes the inside out that never ceases to flee farther, more to the bottom of the abyss that itself is. 
Jean-Luc Nancy, The body of art 

 “I don’t know what connects the Milite Ignoto to Milite Ogbazghi (my grandmother), besides the name that unites them. It was a surprise to find out that Milite, in my mother tongue, the Tigrinya language, means Mary and that Mary is the name of the woman who had the task of choosing, in the post-war period, the coffin containing one of the many fallen anonymous bodies that would have represented and honoured all of them in the course of time, or the Unknown Soldier. 

Coincidences often appear as epiphanies to indicate viable ways or to shed light on already traveled roads. For this reason I am with this work to deliver a first study that investigates possible links or discrepancies between the persons named. 

I will do it through a (possible-impossible) interview that proposes itself as close as possible to the nature of coincidence: a phenomenon that tends to undermine the certainties of rational thought based on established truths and to open gaps on more emotional levels, bearers of subjective, arbitrary truths, and therefore triggers of short-circuits”. Muna Mussie
