Çek-Yat Film Jam
by Gobo Collective
Co-Founder, Creative Director | 2018-2021
Çek-Yat Overnight Film Jam is a 48 hours-long filmmaking marathon. As we like to call it, the zip. format of filmmaking. To shoot the short films, the subject of which will be announced in the first minute of the marathon, the participants will form teams of 6 people out of 48 people they have never met and will try to fit all stages of the filmmaking process into 48 hours. After 48 hours it’s all jury, winners, and party! The Çek-Yat Overnight Film Jam was born out of Gobo's conversation around a sleazy plastic table and continues to grow as the collective's firstborn child.
Holocene-ex
Art Research, Multimedia | 2020-
Holocene-ex is an innovative cyber cosmology and multimedia sharing platform, offering a unique hyper-reality experience that diverges from mainstream digital landscapes. Inspired by the Holocene epoch—a time of significant human development and environmental transformation—this project reimagines social media through the lens of cosmic principles and digital interactivity. It is a space where the boundaries between the simulacrum and real life are explored, both spatially and spiritually.
Near and The Elsewhere
Art Research, Photography Series | 2024-
The Near and The Elsewhere is an (always-ongoing) design research, exploring terms related to cybernetics, urban design, power, and behavioral architecture. Rather than creating a cause-and-effect relationship, the work aims to weave a web of connections, between the layers of urban experience. Discovering structures and system architectures from different disciplines, through readings and visual explorations with illustrations, photographs, and collages. The work mainly uses photographs from a legendary bus terminal called Esenler, in Istanbul. To understand the position of personal narratives in urban archipelago of enclosures. That lightning encounter with the place is the main inspiration, which gave me the urge to conduct deeper investigations.
