GPC STREAMS (#6) Remnants
A remnant reads 'decay' where progressive technology was once planned. Another screams for help, hides, and seeks another present; one where the bomb could have been not detonated but obfuscated. A strategic place positioned between land and sea becomes a remnant of war, which once turned the terrain into a militarized zone. Regardless of the waves, the wind, or the debris, the leftover is there—massive, peeking upwards—as a witness of what tears apart and reshapes the land; a witness to remind us that an otherwise is possible.
The three films included in GPC STREAMS (#6): Remnants turn our attention towards surveilled, militarized, and abandoned sites; they do so not as portraiture but as a choral collage of various perspectives, a polyphonic reappropriation of images and a visualization of a requiem. A symphony that, instead of informing, makes thunderous explosive scenes, creaking metal infrastructures, and poisonous military barracks resonate. Reverberations coming from disparate places, from the north of Estonia, the Colombian countryside, and Palestinian grounds. Their combined echoes: resistive paths wishing to reconfigure an-other present.
