The camera's eye returns obsessively to the same places, a vertical perspective that imposes control, the possession of archaeological sites, and stones lying for thousands of years in the desert. The places it observes, however, are not deserted: we see as if glimpsed from afar, the peasants working the land, themselves transformed into the landscape. Something disturbs the stillness of the place: explosions on land and in the sea prepare the ground for new cities with new names, and new forests. This landscape is transformed into a scenography of appropriation.
*This film will be screened alongside the documentary “A Fidai Film”.
The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
