Mentee Focus :

Simla Civelek

---

Last spring I had the pleasure of working intensively with Simla on her new video while teaching her video editing with Premiere Pro. The final piece is beautiful and has already been shown in film festivals including: Sea of Art, On Art - Poland and Stockholm City Film Festival.

Statement:
My new video, a title appears on black background, is an exploration on the nature of memory. Throughout the narration, translation, graphics, and performance, a doubling occurs. Two languages (Turkish and English) coexist as audio and text / spoken word and written word. Perhaps the answers are embedded in the act of asking the questions and not in answering them.
