Bucky Done Gun borrows from the road movie genre and unfolds through a drifting conversation between two friends. Their dialogue follows the trajectory of two 3D-rendered artifacts: a Mercedes-Benz car roof and a mineralized hoard of nails. These objects do not illustrate a story so much as they act upon one, shifting the register from narrative to encounter and triggering associations that move from the Palestinian city of Nablus to questions of desire, pleasure, and the vulnerability of corporeal life under occupation. Drawing from collaged fragments and material residues, Bucky Done Gun traces how political drives move through objects as they accumulate, lather, and slip into new configurations.
