Torique is my
most personal film. after years of working and researching on art and
Philosophy I became interested in the whole concept of topological world.
I hope to be able
to make more films in the future about topological worlds,
non-three-dimensional space, and nonlinear time. Torique is my first attempt to
come up with such an idea.this is a story of a couple who has been stuck in a
topological world and they have no way out.while they are searching for a way out,
they also sharing their challenge in the life with each other through
dialogue.
* if you are
interested to know about topological Worlds and the whole concept of
space-time, I made a speech about it in Karyashala episode which is
available on Event menu on this website.
missing is a short story about love, in my opinion there is one and the only feeling the human life is challenging with every single moment: missing.

Morty: Rick! What about the reality we
left behind?
Rick: what about the realty were
Hitler cure cancer Morty? The answer is don't think about it.
"Rick and Morty"
Season 1, episode 6
Each of us could have been simply a
drop of blood in sewage hole,
at this very moment that we comprehend
our existence as reality there could infinities of parallel realities where
Hitler could be a Hollywood actor, Yoko Ono could be physicist, Charlie Chaplin
could be a guerrilla leader; Amy Winehouse could
be a philosopher….. I could be you, and you could be me.
I always consider life as a labyrinth confusing, illusive and no way out to salvation. I install those huge shiny labyrinths in various spaces and capture their picture in different lights from different views.
Sometimes it is so difficult for some people of the world to get chance for visiting the other part of the world. In 2017, we went to Ankara in order to get visa for Lithuania. We were supposed to stay in Ankara for 2,3 days but every day they were telling us the visa will be ready on next day, and so forth and so forth…. Then we stayed there for more than ten days for a simple visa. Every single moment we were thinking about giving up on that and back to our country, but we had already spent huge amount of money and time, so it was not that easy to decide to give up or to go on. They also had our passport in the embassy so we couldn’t even leave Ankara to other cities of Turkey. Ankara was such an extra boring city- that is to say, it was summer time and all museum, theatres and… were closed, It was just everyday sunset in Ankara castle with shadows fading, those slim cats who are the symbol of Ankara and us in abeyance. I made these two videos in Ankara castle based on this concept.
in the first video I had this funny taste and I named it Katzen which I believe is the word for cat Kitty in many languages but I'm not sure about it, so that was as uncertain as I was on those days about everything.
in the second video I made myself to think deeply about uncertainty in general in our lives. so the state of instability could be charged in any aspect of our life as that was s only the Ankara situation.
