Exper-I-ment: FIVE SPACES




... space - media - space - media - space- media - space ...



the relation of this two items is the magic of our day


beyond the 'media' is the 'space'
in the 'space' is the 'media'
time carries both to eachother, into eachother, upto an evolution
and we...
we are
the thread which make this texture live
the reasons and the results
the motivation and the brake
the pull and the push
the development and the fall
for every new ring which hangs up to the chain
chain of
... space - media - space - media - space ...



my video work 'ex per I-Ment: FIVE SPACES'
is an essay (deneme)
a subjectiv touch in this chain

a walk
just as me
as 'ninel'
through this architecture
which made seduced me

i let me fall in to this spaces
spaces which were built of videos
videos of different edges of the world
with their own medium in declerations

and me
i just had the desire
to hang me up to this chain
transport
my thougts, my feelings, and my perceptions
that what i want to say for these spaces
to the next media
and this i called
ex per I-Ment: FIVE SPACES

one of this spaces
which i called '#3'
the videoinstellation of shirin neshat
tauched (!) me deep
so i want to take part in this competition with this video of mine which i produced about this space
(i don't want to reach you the whole booklet which i prepered for this project, where you could find for many questions the answers, because i am sure that demanding this were not be realistic. but short about ...)



#3
this is the room of polarity:
white & black
man & woman
voice & cry
live & live(!)

man sings a religios song
religiosity is in this case a high developed situation
die auseinendersetzung mit den eigenen seins
he has audiances
men in white

i like this song
i can feel it very close
maybe because of my origin
but at the opposite site there is a black (gestalt)
the sense is saying that this is the woman
...
how is it possible to sing such a beautiful song when there is at the other hand something in black
can this level be reached without the part of the women
i am sceptish
i don't believe in his song, in his act and in his honesty
i eleminate his white shirt which is the symbol of purity
i eleminate his face
i zoom to his mouth
that song doesn't really belong to him
this may be my subjectiv decition
but this is my film

the woman is there
alone
is she really alone in this way of being and living
there has to be other
there is an other one who gets into the cadrage
and an other...
with overlapping
i want to decrease the number of woman
with overlapping
i also want to decrease the affect of turbulant
in which the woman has to be
she is not alone
being not alone may make her stronger
being alot is also the importance of the problem
i dance what i hear
i dance the cry of the soul for
whom the body becomes crambed
i dance the situation of the women
which couldn't get the opertunity
to have the freedom to develop theirselves
who searches for the hand of the otherside
i dance the question of being black
is it the black which covers the woman
is it the black which penetrates into her

she is there when he sings
even if she opens herself into the depth of herself
he looks when she sings
a look which has the interest
not more than the space in which he moves himself



#1
The work of Dan Mihaltianu is a room of 'lonelyness'.
It begins and ends without sound.
The moments in life wich have no voice.
Flickering accompanies the whole film.
This shall define and present
the basic feeling of this room.
The symbol of 'unrest' which will calm down during the film.
He is oppressed.
This oppression causes him to live in an uncertain position.

The future
like the past
is in silence.
does not offer dreams
no intimate wisches.
Also he is silent.
He has nothing to say.
He is in this silent exhaustet.
He moves hardly.
And if,
then very slowly,
jerkily
and chopped.
His perception is not flowing.
is rather fragmentary.
His perception focuses on objects,
and is blocked on them.
He lives the feeling cold,
But doesn't even feel this.
He doesn't have a warmness in the form of hope.
Therefor he is not be able to cry.
It is as, the moment of present is the only and eternal.
He is not really in this space imprisoned,
but somehow is his soul
in the halftrue security imprisoned.
Just the window
is the ' opening '
of this room to the world.
And the radio,
which accompanies its everyday life.
This is his communication with his own live.
And for more.
he doesn't have the strength.

I am sure that most of you know the feeling
of desire to sing in some special spaces.
Even if we don't often allow ourselves,
I do believe that everyone has this feeling.
In a cathedral,
in the forest
during a walk,
on the roof of a skyscreaper,
in the office when you are the last person,
when the wind snatches the voice away from the mouth
in a building where the sounds you produce are modified with an echo
in a latenight when the street of a city are getting the flair of a private stage...
etc..
But usually,when you are alone.
I get this feeling very often,
When i am inbetween of person who speak a foreign language,
A language of which i can understand not a word.
And which the melodie of the language
Is able to carry me to foreign geographies.

When I occurred the video work 'into the sun' of Doug Aitken,
I felt myself like a tourist in a foreign country
And was looking around in a floating way.
My perceptions like the shootings lost the gravity
I let myself singing into the way I was feeling.

future hygen hurts alone

this is the space which made me hear every step of my resoles
I was mute.
I was alone
and it was cold
I hear my resoles
I was looking for...
I was searching


I was several times one into one another imprisoned
in a closer space which is covered of an other
in a confine in this space
In my own turn

There were persons,
who are somehow very far
even if they were smiling
everything were somehow strange
nevertheless, I was in the middle of that.

I approached to the displays

They pushed me off

So I continued going on searching.

everything was hygen

too hygen

the sounds

the pictures

everything smelless

everything hard

I had to think of future

it was black

black like white



According to my opinion is the guide of camera
that what shows the essenz of this space.
The Lost of the safe spacefeeling.
The tone accompanies the search for the 'safe' in the far.
Trough the white
Into
the

nothing



nothing





nothing
widening behind it...

Türlü

That is a court in Turkey,
which alot of vegetables are cooked together.
When I occurred the space of Marcel Odenbach,
I had the feeling of Türlü.
Everything which were
into one another
and one above the other interlaced was about Rythm.
Rythm of Africa.
Rythm of the black in the colonial age,
Rhytm of the black in the present,
Rythm in the MTV,
Rythm which this culture causes in me.
Rhtym as characters of this culture
which presents itself to the whole world
and
releases an oscillation.








that's it.
thank you for your interest
sincerely

by the way:
i made this work at university of stuttgart, architecture faculty
without directly asking for permission from shirin neshat
i don't know how it work with competitions
may be i should ask as soon as possibble.




ME
who am i’
is this a question
or the answer itself
are not very often the answers
in the questions hidden.
am i ‘ninel’
because my father wanted me to call in this way
or ‘cam’
because my family has this three letters as name
am i really getting every 365 days a year older
am i architect
because i made the classes
in a discipline which is called Fakulty of Architecture
am i a woman
because my body suits this gender
am i intellectuel developed
because i know how to act to get this etticet
am i the media in the big space called the world
or just a medium in the world of media
where begins the abstract world
where has the material come to the end

i lost the question
'who am I?'
in one of them
and found the answer
'who am I.'
in the other.
i defined me in reality,
lost it in the virtual.
defined myself in virtuality and lost it in real.
let's forget me
and
see my questions.
may be this is the best way
to see.
