Three Disentanglements for the Exhausted Geographies
Ecosocial imaginaries have already been performing their course in our everyday lives. Extraction shapes our myths, childhood memories, the colour of the land, how seagulls gather, and where we dance. This installation discusses attempts of disentanglement in three zones of sacrifice using feminist research methods in design in the form of architectural essay films. We claim that essayistic filmmaking is an approach to ecosocial imaginaries that could enable graduate research to unbound itself from closeted methodologies that overlook situated knowledge, affects, matters of concern and more than human worlding. These films are produced as part of Assoc. Prof. Bihter Almaç's master course titled; Architecture Essay Film Practices: Research and Representation, at the Architecture Design Graduate Program, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul. The films are by Nilsu Altunok, Oya Yeşim Armağan Atacan, Nazlı Giriftinoğlu and respectively titled as; “the collage of dealing with things that I can’t change”; “a stroll through what Gediz has promised us”; “the murmuring sea”.
