DON'T SHOOT NOW: This is a slightly revised and updated version of an essay I published in 2011 under the title "Making Time". In it, I shared my viewing experience of Šejla Kamerić and Anri Sala's video work 1395 DAYS WITHOUT RED, a work about what it takes to survive a siege. Then the city was Sarajevo (1992 - 1996), today the cities under ongoing genocidal siege are in Gaza. I dedicate this new version to the Palestinian people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
