The Sight is a Wound

Synopsis

"The Sight is a Wound" confronts the impossibility of image-making in the face of genocide. Through the burning of over 50 paintings, the film interrogates the ethical failure of aesthetics, where witnessing collapses into complicity. It is an act of refusal—excavating absence, exhaustion, and the limits of representation.
