WHAT REMAINS is constructed from images that belit sağ shot and gathered during 2015 and 2016 in Cizre, a primarily Kurdish town in Turkey near the Syrian border, as well as found footage from all over Turkey from the same period. A focus of the work is the artist’s footage of collective Kurdish mourning practices and looking at how images of the dead are used in these practices. sağ approaches her subject both philosophically and emotionally and is driven to find a way of making her work that is theoretically rigorous as well as morally and ethically compassionate. The film is an attempt at giving the images back to the ones who gave them to us. The collected images can on the one hand manipulate, on the other they can heal, co-conspire, help us go back and forth, re-visit, refresh the memory, re-live the violence.
