A poetic short essay, Aydın Teker’s Sürgün [Offspring] (2021) explores the bodily level connection between nature and mankind within the frame of ecological devastation. Crawling on an ancient pine tree at a very slow pace, the performer engages with the ancestral knowledge, and deals with the weight of aging in a delicate way. The film serves as an open metaphor for bodies that fade away.
