Through Segments is a sound installation in an unusual interstitial space—the staircase of the Kunsthaus’ Iron House that connects to the “Friendly Alien”. Four artists listen into the storeys using real-time computer algorithms, taking an acoustical image of the visitors’ movements, forming four individual reactions. It is a poetic attempt to think about the distributed, the fragmented, the parallel. During the development phase, the artists work independently, but at the same time they observe and interrogate each other, performing the gesture of a “simultaneous arrival” (Sara Ahmed). They enact a human algorithm, informed by reiteration and duplication but never being identical. The aim is not one “of all converging towards the same, but circulating, making common relaying, relaying back, being relayed” (Isabelle Stengers).

Through a dialogue with an historical archive the project seeks to construct a fluid story of a confined landscape on the point of transformation. Through the negotiation of a multitude of images the project constructs a narrative that transcends the photographic vision as evidence, and questions whether vision can be more than comparable to the ground of an archaeological excavation. Through the use of the photographic essay as a method the intention is to try and interpret the changeability of the urban landscape.

Turkish Female director Tomris Giritlioğlu was one of the first in Turkish cinema to touch upon the long-forgotten and pathological consequences of the Turkification efforts in Turkey since forever. In Salkım Hanımın Taneleri / Mrs. Salkım's Diamonds, she (re)creates the recent and pessimistic past of the one-party Turkey of 1943 Wealth Tax, trying to overthrow the official discourse of the chaotic institutionalization and nationalization times in Turkey. In Güz Sancısı / Pains of Autumn (2009), she formed a part of the identity carnival of 6-7 September 1955 Events/Pogrom. In these two films, Tomris Giritlioğlu offers a series of interesting contexts to examine the Turkish government’s national stance and the identity formation in two decades from the 1943 Wealth Tax and to the 6-7 September 1955 Events/Pogrom.
