Dutch-Kurdish artist and filmmaker Veysi Yildirim was born with congenital hearing loss and spent the first four years of his life not speaking. His condition triggered missing out on linguistic feeling and yet it was compensated by Yildirim enjoying what he calls ‘a greater visual acuity’. From the moment he started wearing hearing aids, he became fascinated by the effect of sound on body and spirit.
Living in opposite worlds (West, East; deaf, hearing; Islamic, Christian, secular), Yildirim has developed a particular view on reality. Films are his medium to reach out to people and have them experience – through cinematographic means – inner rest and contemplation.
