Landscapes as Archives” 20 min.
a research project + a video essay
Pelin Tan
Camera Operator & Editor
The video essay consists of interviews/conversations with architects, spatial practitioners, and researchers whom they map on the architectural and urban reproduction of Palestine. The material politics, construction labor, new housing projects, and territories of extractive sites…decipher the conflictual conditions of shaping, claiming, and resisting landscapes. Landscapes as archives claim the land as a geon to power where layers of colonial timescapes and desires reveal assemblages of archives. Archiving/Dearchiving plays as an act of not (only about) remembering but an accumulation of fluid mapping.

The term-long pilot program unfolds into three sections: a reading week, a week-long hybrid residency that takes place online and in Dheisheh, Palestine, and (cautiously) into an in-person exhibition of our participants’ projects in Berlin in January 2022.
