Poster for PERDE

2026 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Ayça lives alone in a house where the walls carry the traces of the past. The dozens of frames hanging there stand as silent witnesses to her suppressed emotions and obsessions. Each time her fingers touch the piano keys, memories and images hidden within the music come alive once again. Ayça's mental world is shaped by a perceptual distortion so intense that even a motionless canvas on the building across the street appears alive to her. On a night when the boundary between reality and imagination grows increasingly blurred, a mistakenly delivered package deeply unsettles this inward-looking world. The curtains that part do not open to the outside world, but mark the beginning of an inner confrontation. "The Curtain" is a poetic inner journey of a woman who, upon seeing her own future reflected in another person, confronts herself and her obsessions through music and imagery.

Dienderen invited Brussels-based Rosine Mbakam from Cameroon and Paris-based Eléonore Yameogo from Burkina Faso to work together on a film in which the differences in their skin color serves as a departure to explore their experiences with the biased limitations of the medium. Photographic media are technologically and ideologically biased, favoring Caucasian skin. Such white-centricity means that the photographic media assume, privilege and construct whiteness.
