3 March - 25 April

Unmade Film is an ambitious body of work by Uriel Orlow shown for the first time in its entirety in the UK. The work takes the form of an impossible film, fragmented into its constituent parts. An expansive collection of audio-visual works that point to the structure of a film but never fully become one, Unmade Film takes as its starting point the emblematic yet wholly invisible Palestinian village of Deir Yassin, formerly on the outskirts of Jerusalem. The multi-part work evolved out of long-term research and collaborations with actors, musicians, pupils and psychologists in East Jerusalem and Ramallah.

Orlow probes the entangled history and spatial layering of the Holocaust and the Nakba and addresses conflicting narratives without comparing them. Working across sound, drawing, video, text and photography and referencing Robert Smithson and Pier Paolo Pasolini amongst others, Orlow takes the viewer on a journey through the medium of film and produces a fragmented narrative of space and time that questions the circumstances of obliterated geo-histories and their continued impact in the present. Unmade Film exposes itself to absence and impossible representation, producing unsettled new meanings in complicity with the viewers of the work.
