Compsognation or the concept of the nation state beheld with the eye of a dinosaur is a work, a filmic report of a dialogue and a Budapest walk with Compsognathus Longipes. Through our discussion we focus on the Compsognatus' view on nation, and the cancerous metasthatic category system of language and how it processes and divides up reality. Is it not possible, that a culture which has inhabited this planet for hundreds of millions of years will provide a substantially different and valuable view on the earlier mentioned sets of relations?
