Ada is in town for two days. She moved away long ago but has remained bureaucratically dependent on it. Her encounters reveal the wounds of a suppressed society. The city’s sounds are penetrant, breaking into moments as if to expose a rupture. Memories have their own landscapes, becoming disorientated in this transforming land.
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.
