Between Delicate and Violent is an experimental documentary that considers hands as memory places that can accumulate and transfer memories. Through hands and their creations, it imagines unearthing lost memories that have not been included in performative, socially acceptable family albums. Can we see the violence of the painter's hands in the brush strokes of his paintings? Could cross-stitch be an alphabet of some sort? The video connects with the director's past through imagination and creation while opening up to larger human stories, such as domestic violence and intergenerational trauma and resistance.
The crew will attend.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
