FILM

The latest in an ongoing series of works by belit sağ addressing police and military violence committed against Kurdish people in the south east of Turkey. What remains is constructed from images that sağ shot and gathered during 2015 and 2016 in Cizre, a primarily Kurdish town, as well as found footage from all over Turkey from the same period. A focus of the work is the artist’s footage of collective Kurdish mourning practices, and looking at how images of the dead are used in these practices. sağ approaches her subject both philosophically and emotionally, and is driven to find a way of making work that is theoretically rigorous and morally and ethically compassionate.
