Out of Frame (Short Version)

2000 · 32 min

Focusing on a woman addicted to sex and drugs in a corner of the city, this film depicts an exclusive and cold world on a monochrome screen. Attempting to fuse experimental film and dramatic film, this work exposes raw violence and eliminates explanatory expressions. It depicts the weight of the distance between a man and a woman that deepens after a small incident.

Light Point · 1996

"The clouds are rushing by, and the architecture of men fit so well in that movement. The bricks. The light is harsh and blue. But in the night it is different, you walk down the street and the sun turns into a light bulb again, the houses are asleep. It feels like thunder and the houses seemed to be dipped into blue and turquoise colours. And then it all turns blue again."
