About this exposition

This artistic research explores the process of reflection and reconstruction of a feature film that was originally started eight years ago: "Mother’s rooms". The work investigates the attempt to finish this abandoned project by creating a pseudo-documentary narrative in which the protagonist, a fictional version of the filmmaker, tries to re-establish contact with his estranged mother. Through this renewed attempt at connection, he simultaneously tries to understand why he was unable to complete the original film — a film that, ironically, was about his mother. The central theme of the research is the transformation of personal trauma into artistic expression. The original film that was was 8 years ago based on documenting pain, but without a desire to change it — a gesture of freezing rather than moving forward. The research question is: Can cinema function as a bridge between people? Can the act of filmmaking influence and reshape real-life relationships? The aim of the project is not only to complete a new version of the film, but to explore cinema’s potential as a tool for emotional confrontation, reconciliation, and change. The method combines personal reflection, writing, and image-making with the production of a staged documentary that both reveals and performs the process of trying to heal a relationship through the cinematic form.
