Azkorri árnyéka alatt (Under the Shadow of Azkorri), 17 min, 2020
synopsis
“Azkorri árnyéka alatt” is a visual essay that explores the spaces of images, starting from a photograph taken on the beach of Azkorri (Basque Country). The video questions how a change of perspective might alter the receptivity towards an image, and unfolds from the positioning of a gesture from the film Még kér a nép by Miklós Jancsó(Red Psalm, 1972). The director subsequently encounters this gesture in a photograph of Russian LGBTQIA+ activist Yelena Grigoryeva. She explores that particular symbol by drawing lines to her own queer sexuality, to the aesthetic representation of communism, as well as to questions of dispossession and appropriation.
