Since 2001, Guli has been working on the Schozophrenic State Project, in which he extracts, processes and re-contextualises images of violence, suffering and protest from news media, in the form of a series of video works, distributed across the fields of video art and experimental film. The found footage, appropriated from mass media, is processed via digital means, creating the new forms of critical commentary, inspired by the situationist tradition of détournement, which is the "appropriation of existing media for critical comment" as defined by Guy Debord and Gil J. Wolman (1956). The project is inspired by the works of artist in the field of video edition for such news media as Sky News, BBC Studios and CNN.
