On each screen we encounter one of six inhabitants from a small village in the partly Arabized southeastern part of Turkey, each recounting their particular experience of reincarnation seemingly typical of the region - hence the doubling of the original six protagonists to which the title refers: we see the projected image from both sides of the screen, thereby \u0026lsquo;seeing\u0026lsquo; the narrator on both sides of the culturally defined divide between life and death. Ataman\u0026rsquo;s camera-eye (or camera-I) registers these various witnesses with the steady gaze of an anthropologist\u0026rsquo;s valuation of (if not belief in) the story being told, no matter how outlandish. Yet what matters most in this work is the survivor\u0026rsquo;s subjectivity, fantastical or not; Ataman does not think of himself as a documentary maker, he is merely interested in \u003cem\u003e\u0026ldquo;making extremely objective works about extremely subjective experiences\u0026rdquo;\u003c/em\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwelve\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;bestaat uit zes vrij in de ruimte opgehangen beeldschermen waarop evenveel video\u0026rsquo;s worden geprojecteerd.
