Silence, 2022
Video 4'22
The images depict a nondescript village, like so many thousands that dot the European landscape. The village has customs and rituals that are only known by the locals, no outsider can enter. A sort of hermetic seal keeps the village cut off. The weather, the landscape also contributing to the sense of isolation. The silence separates it. It is a habitat lost in place and time. And yet somehow it has been caught on film.
In this video the footage captured in the anonymous village has been manipulated to highlight the faces of the locals, to see if they might reveal something of the village secrets. Into these features we can project our fears. Flashbacks. Trauma. The camera sweeps across the landscape, landing in certain sites that hold memories in their silence. .
