How can a DSLR camera move in the ruins of a 19th
century mansion that is battered to be covered with
glass and steel in the days to come, for that’s a more
appropriate image as a shopping mall. How to get up and
to do what in the ruins; the scenery of late ones to come?
Here, this occurs: there are holes in some walls releasing
spectres to haunt which that makes impossible to reach.
What is a Istanbul, where is Aleppo.

Film is basically recordings of ruins of a 19th century Roum (Istanbullu Greeks) mansion and is an experiment (or an experience) on various topics (rather it is a video or a film is one of these topics, i will call it as film in this text.)
But before coming to the explanation of experimentation, first i must say it is formed from an urge to look at ruins of Tarlabasi, which is one of the oldest settlements of Istanbul (which is one of the oldest cities in the world) battered to be turned to a huge shoping mall district. Tarlabasi was essentially a Roum settlement in late Ottoman era and after pogroms of 6-7 september 1955 neighbourhood had been deserted and seizured. Starting from late 50's Tarlabasi had been home to migrants from poor eastern cities searching for wealth of istanbul,

Air, resonance and the sound of
first motor in motion. ELECTRICITY!
A green land is what's
not seen beyond the mist and that's
not mist but steam and
what's crossing the white is an
admirable steam train; and from the
highest mountain peek, looking at the
misty valley, a proud gentleman,
newly awake... and then syncope:
for hundred years... and then, when
birds cought flu they were sloughtered
by hundreds of thousands and thrown
to dumpyards. And cows were fed with leftovers
from other cows which were previously been eaten,
for that their meat grow faster, and when
they got sick becouse of cannibalism, they've been
named mad and were burned in piles. Napalm for red threat
and atomic bomb for yellow; death chambers for
Judaism; Franco's tanks for anarchism; German bomb
for London; English bomb for Berlin; for
ancient Anatolian civilization, the deathly
roads to Damascus... Chemical to Halabja,
conventional to Baghdad, aerodynamic to
Twin Towers, sonic to Kirkuk, digital to Youtube,
Africans to America, Communists to Moscow,
Algerians parlent Français, refugees stay away.
Fasten your seatbelts and move one continent left.
+++ planned to be
a scene in the feature length documentary to come:
"a rotting utopia";
nikbin sirto has declared independence when it's footage
met with sound of stockhausen. after a dense period
where it has been rejected from, ten countries,
sixteen cities and fifteen festivals; nikbin sirto
had it's world premiere at kadıköy kargart.
in the screening it had an audience of nine whom
two had walked out from the screening. the first one
to arrive to screening was inan, he was also the first
one to walk out. as he walked out the caretaker irem asked him:
"how was the film?", "not a documentary!". irem asked again:
"what was it then?"
