Digital video, site-specific installation with photographs, advertisement banners and airplane slides
Dimensions variable
Duration: 12:27 min
The video depicts a number of mountainous regions: a road through the mountains, various passes and lakes. In addition, we see footage from satellite imagery, airstrikes and battle scenes. The film consists of found footage from various sources, among them tourism campaigns and newscasts. Short descriptive texts are superimposed on the images. While they begin as apparently factual statements (“We see a road. We see a mountain.“), their combination with the images begins to make us question what we see and, more importantly, what it means. The soundtrack is also found and includes Turkish newscasts.
