Zarafet ve şiddet arasında - Between Delicate and Violent

Could the violence in a painter‘s hand be seen in his brushstrokes? Could cross-stitch be an alphabet? Between Delicate and Violent imagines the discovery of traumatic memories that weren‘t included in family albums.

"Between Delicate and Violent is an experimental documentary that considers hands as memory places that can both accumulate and transfer memories. Through hands and their creations, it imagines unearthing lost memories that have not been included in performative, socially acceptable family albums. Can we see the violence of the painter’s hands in the brush strokes of his paintings? Could cross-stitch be an alphabet of some sort? The video connects with the director’s personal past through imagination and creation, while opening up to larger human stories such as domestic violence and intergenerational trauma and resistance."
