Detours brings together footage shot in Lebanon between 2019 and 2021. Wandering among skyscrapers and worn-out buildings, Vida Guzmić’s camera captures, in fragments, the contrasts of a country and its people caught in the midst of crisis and protests.
« I decided my cinematic approach would be purely observational, as the narrative of this country is in constant shift, navigating one crisis after another, where the people are locked between concrete, sea, warzones and borders that many can not cross. »
Vida Guzmić
« Through the position of ‘peripheral vision’, which I practice as an observer, Detours builds a narrative of sensory impressions, orientations, alienated images, images that remain outside of the frame. The work is not a documentation or analysis of current policies and turbulent events but an experience of disorientations within them. »
