abstract

Three times in Beyoglu is an audiovisual work that presents from the beginning to the end of the day an important area from the city of Istanbul. Inside a district called Beyoglu, the Taksim Square and Istiklal street represents the interesting contrast that exist in the city. After recording many characteristic sounds from that area I tried to develop a strategy in order to put them together with visuals. Toward my field recording experience I know that focus on sound help you to discover information and aesthetics aspects of a place that sometimes disappear because of the sight or the strong presence of visual elements. Beyond an acousmatic experience of sounds Three time in Beyoglu tries to reconsider a new free association between visuals and sounds.
