[CORI] DOR NESIGUR 2020
Addresses the concept of uncertain loss through a site-specific audio-visual installation.
Uncertain losses refer to those losses that remain blocked in the mourning stage and cannot be processed precisely because what was lost is partially present or its disappearance has not been confirmed.
This category of losses includes, for example, losses of space, territory, identity, losses due to uprooting, migration, wars or natural disasters.
These types of frozen losses are also experienced by those who care for a family member or a patient suffering from dementia,
someone severely sedated or under substance abuse, someone partially present, partially absent.
At the same stage are public transport workshop-spaces in Timișoara where mourning cannot begin.
Their only presence, even degraded, leaves a hope that something could happen, could be re-assigns, could return to a known form that brings comfort. a normal we were used to, maybe even fulfilled / satisfied.

The film was made by Gregory Brzozowski (director, Poland), Ioana Țurcan (cinematographer, Romania), Iulia Matei (editor, Romania) as part of the 8th edition of Aristoteles Workshop (Suceava, Romania) and was awarded the best documentary prize.
The film shows the life of an elderly couple that are trying to finalise the construction of a house bigger than their powers, a house where their children and grandsons might not live in since they left for Sweden. Their endless work stems from a superstition, the fear their life will end with the finalisation of the construction.
