Course Content
The theme of this course is to develop the perception and the visual experience of the students through making a videographic iconography of Ankara, supposedly the actual city in which they live. There will be a collective exercise of video-action, oriented towards the re-constitution of this urban iconography, which we believe is also part of the generalized popular imagination and televisual experience. Ankara would probably be the first step to such a project, which can be formally expanded to other urban spaces, since it is a newly established, republican city with rich symbolic and iconographic spatio-temporal details.
