2003. Footage from TV archives, the future president of Turkey speaking to his people. Gender - an intimate memory, 2nd class, the schoolyard in Üsküdar under a blue sky. An everlasting catchy tune from a juice commercial. In an instant of remembrance your memory lets you fall through its own time and space.
Deniz Şimşek studied film and art in Istanbul and Berlin. She explores the complex interactions between sociopolitical phenomena and personal fragments, and investigates the obscure connections that run through seemingly unrelated themes.
