The ongoing serial CYST highlights Thieme's intense engagement with the Library Hamdija Kreševljaković Video Arhiv in Sarajevo. The serial's focus is on processes of translating archival video material Thieme used also in her works Can’t you see them? - Repeat. as well as Can’t you see them / POV with the help of data analytical tools tracking movements. CYST investigates the implications of subjective testimony in the context of collective traumatic events and their reconstruction through technical & juridical means. It attempts to trace the fissures that open up between the languages of individual memory and their translation into those of procedures of historical objectification.

In collaboration with Library Hamdija Kresevljakovic Video Arhiv, Sarajevo
