Konusu/Synopsis : 

What is the end result of the disparity between individualized
memories, corporate profits, and the public’s exposure to risk, a
gap born from varied perceptions of this phenomenon? The
cyclical flow, from consumption to memory and from production to disposal, operates uniquely across various spaces and times. In our living spaces, materialized thoughts are eventually discarded, creating a ‘Dead Zone’. While it’s possible to observe the underpinnings of tangible and intangible phenomena that move through time and space in varied ways, we often overlook these intricate details. Owning these consumer products, which serve as a bridge between places and non-places, may offer significant personal experiences over time. However, this can also contribute to market distortions and generate unintended external consequences(Externality). This disconnect, linking corporations and capital with environmental destruction, forms what we know as the ‘Dead Zone’ , which continues to wander through our world.

Yönetmen/Director :

Especially, He expresses the layers of memories that became extinct after being generated by events derived from specific locations composing the framework of urban social environment. The double-sidedness of the visible and invisible world is shaped through a specific exhibition place in order to examine the context of the material, non-material
environment that occupied each space at each point in time.
