2023埃塞俄比亚·英国纪录片·短片
导演：Asmaa Jama Gouled Ahmed
Two lovers, an archivist, a shopkeeper and a singer haunt the city, wearing self-fashioned evocative costumes in this third collaboration between Asmaa Jama and Gouled Ahmed, who impersonate some of the characters themselves. Manipulating their own family portraits with coloured pencils, the artists critique colonial practices and traumatic histories through processes of reenactment and reclamation. “We are unseen beings, we are bright afterimages” cries the poetry of Jama, echoing the erasure and resurrection of those on the periphery. Enlightened by some of the great Malian studio photographers, such as Seydou Keïta and Malick Sidibé, we are presented with a spectacular mise-en-scène that conjures a generative ritual of awakening.
