Cambeck

Binelde Hyrcan

Binelde Hyrcan’s «Cambeck», filmed on a beach on Luanda Island in Angola, has four children as its central figures, playing in a construction in the sand – which recreates a common collective transport vehicle in Angola, popularly known as a candongueiro. In this journey of fiction, they act as passengers and drivers, imitating a popular dialogue and establishing a lively and emotional conversation between them, not only for the fun and seemingly innocent way they interact in their game, but also for the naked portrait they construct of various aspects of their daily existence, related to economics and politics, social inequality and migratory phenomena, difficulties in housing, transport and education in Angolan society. Powerful by its meaning and narrative, as well as by the way it employs irony to deal with complex social issues, this video work quickly engages us in a playful action that both expresses the power of childish improvisation and simplicity as necessary ingenuity and the continuous sense of dream, overcoming and resistance demanded by the hardest and most serious realities of society as a whole. An image of the Angolan reality, this is a simultaneously larger portrait that mirrors the problem of the precariousness and poverty of many communities, as well as the migrations and the current refugee crisis.
