[On Conflict] is an essay film that reflects on how inherited visual and narrative codes shape our perception of contemporary images, particularly those depicting the ongoing massacres, live-transmitted to our devices. Using appropriated mainstream film footage, the work interrogates how the language of spectacle shapes the way we see today, and how it organizes the narrative into a structure that leaves the audience/users trapped within a conflict-driven scenario.

By getting closer to often overlooked details or extending the duration of the frames, the film moves the gaze into the background, where bodies without given names and gestures without apparent weight speak with the text to tell a story of how stories are told and imagine possibilities to use film as an art of presentations rather than of re-presentations.
