2017
Conducts a work centered around the temporal relationship between the daily lives of children in Tarlabaşı and the clock as an object between from October 2016 to February 2017. Each time a child wants to know the time and checks it, they record the watch for 15 seconds using the recording device for the project.
Videos of 12 hours in total have been edited in parallel to real time flow. For a duration of 4 months, every week 2548 videos have been recorded with children aged between 6-12. Video shows the passage of time while giving impressions of the space they’re in. It’s turned into a daily object that reflects the world the participants live in, the network that is created with the intersection points of time and space, and that is used as a wall clock at the cafe, Menemenci Ismail, in the same neighborhood the project took place in. The photos taken by the participants have been turned into a book as part of this project.
*This 12-hour video consists of 15-second recordings and functions as a time-based video object synchronized to real time and operating as a wall clock.
*This video was used as the official clock of the café in the space where it was installed and remained in continuous operation until the building was demolished in 2021.
