belit sağ, 2015, NL, TR, HD, 15'

Kurdish inhabitants of Cizre, on the Turkish-Syrian border, testify about their experiences during a violent operation the Turkish army undertook in their city. They filmed and photographed the conflict with their phones and tell a very different story from that of the established media. sağ’s work discusses the imaginable and unimaginable, the audible and muted, ethics and aesthetics, distance and involvement; it is an exercise in curiosity, going after what is visible and audible in the frame, and what is, simultaneously, escaping it.
