Silent mirages
A ‘WAS BLEIBT KOLLEKTIV | GENTIAN DODA’ PRODUCTION
The investigation that brings forth ‘Vegime të heshtuna’/’Silent Mirages’ is focused on the retrieval of the intimate world of memories, where sparks of silent and fragmented stories arise from, that we record in the form of a ‘moving or still image’. The selection and perception of these images bring us a variety of impressions from the past to the present.
We get lost in awe in the depths of these apparitions, moving in an ‘embalmed time’. We try to find room in the environments we left, among people or objects that do not speak. We strive to touch them, but they flow off beneath the weight of time, intertwining in a tangle, as chain links moving away while dragging with them their secrets.
