They Gave Me a Camera

to Know Where I'm From

About the project:

2022-ongoing · video · 11:13 · UK · English & Cypriot

As part of an ongoing research project, this work-in-progress is an excavation from the director's personal archives. Family videos from the early 2000s, recorded by her journalist father, Serhat Incirli, are assembled to reveal fragments of a politicised familial life. Both father and daughter mediate their experience of the world through film and text. Through repetition, ritual and conversation, this work explores how children in the Cypriot diasporas perceive and experience memory, cultural identity and displacement.
