The Score (You and I Both Know) transports viewers to the Sarajevo siege, its embodied, material, and auditory cartography of violence, and the lasting wounds inflicted on bodies and trees alike through an installation of photographs and sound.
The linden trees that line the River Miljacka and serve as a reminder of Sarajevo's former frontline serve as Silva's starting point. These trees weren't just observers of the battle; they actively participated by acting as a living barrier against sniper fire. They still play an important role today as evidenced by the war-torn trunks and branches.
