Goierri Konpeti: Video by Garmendia and Mendizabal at Galerie du Triangle

A video titled 'Goierri Konpeti' by Inaki Garmendia and Asier Mendizabal was exhibited at Galerie du Triangle in Bordeaux, France, from June 5 to June 20, 2003. The work follows a group of young men in a Basque village united by a passion for cars. Shot from the back seat, the video immerses viewers in their world of garages, bars, and competitions, but gradually unsettles with ambiguity—blurring documentary, fiction, and reality. The artists explore themes of rebellion, transgression, and violence in the Basque Country, using the car as a symbol of escape from societal constraints. The fragmented, elliptical editing challenges conventional narrative, creating a raw, gripping portrait. Didier Arnaudet reviewed the work.
