No One is Laughing is a visual essay that has been written as a reflection on two events in September 2021: the author’s mother embarking on a first-ever trip to the land of her ancestors – Tatarstan – and the writer herself coming across a strange mesmerizing book, The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers by Bhanu Kapil. As a consequence of both occurrences, Dinara dares to ask her mother questions she was never brave enough to bring up before.
