[BIOGRAPHY]

1.Performative screenings

A double screen video projection and a sound-mix allowing filmic dialogues for the public screening displays the kernel element of non linear editing. It permits that film dialogues between the different authors and subject matters of the Timescapes database can be engaged. Parallel flows of sequences that were partially interwoven through the editing define the subjective event of actualising the narration. The double screen projection connected to the computers with the Timescapes database allows that more than one persons can put material on the screen and play it together. This constitutes the moment of film making that is generally not public. Performative speech, divers languages sound elements, everything that belongs to the “off” of an image as a tool to appropriate the meaning of an image is offered in an open process in time. This means to return methods of dramatizing recorded images to the public, to unfold moments of subjective appropriation and to create filmic dialogues in between a group of authors. Open sequences as Deleuze described as an open image. A live creation out of the database of Timescapes, a live presentation of the material from different point of views allows that the actual time of presentation can influence the presentation of the past tense (recorded time) : that is the experimental aspect of the project.

Putting post-production back into the film theatre is an effort to liberate the moving image from its’ stereotyped significations engaged by a referenced use of sequencing images by mass media.

2. Corridor X -Single channel tape

Corridor X will be structured as an essayist narrative following the road. Associations reflecting historical information and private recollections by passing through places will interrupt the narrative of the road movie and the time-flow. The journey is doubled and disturbed by links and relations to the other four subject matters of the TC-database such as case studies of forced migrations in Turkey, cinematographic studies of the Monastiraki square. Corridor X will be one of multiple outputs produced in the Timescapes project. It lays out the process of excavating a subject on mobility and infrastructure and focus on the researcher’s conflict of producing documentaries : The question of “how long to stay and to film a place” or “how much getting involved in a story that could change the initial plan of the research” are constantly posed. The research on locality (history) and the necessity of moving on for linking the subject to new localities of migration (different generations of migration) belonging to the B-Zone will accumulate and develop in the road movie Corridor X in parallel. The collective editing allows a form of interweaving different narratives together. (seee www. Timescapes.info)
