A portfolio film capturing interventions along the Westerbork walking route, where Kinkorn reactivates historical traces of deportation during the Second World War. The project follows the former railway line from Amsterdam to Kamp Westerbork, transforming it into a reflective landscape of remembrance.
Over this railway line, tens of thousands of Jewish people were deported to Kamp Westerbork during the Second World War. The Westerbork walking route, which follows this track, serves as a continuous reminder of that history.
Along seven locations on this route, Kinkorn gives new voice to those who were persecuted and deported. The outlines of their former homes are made visible within spatial objects, while their stories can be heard by turning a wheel, revealing fragments of interviews and letters.
In this film, I focused on how absence can be made tangible through subtle interaction and spatial layering. By following these interventions along the route, the project becomes a sequence of encounters in which memory briefly reappears within the present landscape.
