Verdragend Landschap is a shortfilm created by Peeled Collective.
In this short film we see two bodies within a landscape that has been lived in and forgotten. The Dutch waterlines have been the basis of this creation.
The ruins of the waterline are remnants of a defense mechanism that no longer exists. The bunkers are scattered throughout the country as part of the backbone of the defense mechanism. Like a rotting body of which only bones remain.
In this film we ask what has been left behind in the two figures, what ruins are rotting deep beneath the surface and what does the surface look like now? How does their skin, the environment and the landscape where they grew up carry them? And how do
they carry each other? An apparent symbiosis of different landscapes that come into sharp focus as soon as
a stone is lifted, a flood occurs, new people arrive or when everything is abandoned.
