The third in a film triptych, Lefkosia was shot from within UN controlled territory on the border between south Cyprus and the Turkish occupied North. Like the previous two parts, this episode explores the landscape’s composition along the current borders of Europe. It presents a silent camera traveling along a heavily guarded border, where even photography is forbidden without permission.

The film was made in collaboration with Siebren de Haan. Their works have recently been exhibited at Gwangju Biennale, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, TPW Gallery in Toronto (Images Festival), Palais de Tokyo in Paris and will be presented at the Shanghai Biennale and at Project Arts Centre in Dublin.
