Stitch the Ruin
Željka Blakšić (Gita Blak) Zašij ruševinu, HR, US, 2024, 9', DCP
Green DCP Award
Stitch the Ruin reflects on the conceptual, historical, and social concerns surrounding clothing production. We see interconnected microscopic images of textiles mostly gathered from Zagreb’s legendary flea market Hrelić, lists of shut factories, many named after the partisan heroines of the Antifascist Women’s Front. By focusing closely on details like stitching and tags, this work explores knowledge of time and labor and reflects on the specific industrial structure of feeling, established by workers in these socialist factories.
