2 channel video
The aim of this video is to disattach the relations individuals make with places, using cult Istanbul scenes from multiple movies that sticks in our minds. Film is the easiest instrument that reaches to masses while making them exprience multiple emotions including sadness, sorrow, happiness, excitement, fear etc. By using the exact same location and the frame I wanted I evoke the sense of disorientation to the audience, while showing a man juggling which can be accepted as a silly thing to do. Place and time are basic and faceless things and we are the ones who overcharge meanings to them. The goal I wanted achieve by seperating the sounds to two different sides of headphones was that the audience could relate themselves to each video seperately by focusing to one of the sides but at the mean time being exposed to 2 different videos at the same time.
