Body, Rhythm and Space in Kemeraltı:Layered Traces of Everyday Life Through the Camera Eye

This short film explores the everyday rhythms of İzmir’s Kemeraltı Bazaar through Dziga Vertov’s camera-eye technique. Capturing life as it flows from the morning shutters to evening lights, the film reveals the living, breathing organism of the city. Inspired by Lefebvre’s theory of lived space, this work transforms observation into a poetic act of urban witnessing.

Bu kısa film, İzmir’in tarihi Kemeraltı Çarşısı’nda gündelik yaşamın ritmini Dziga Vertov’un ‘kamera-göz’ tekniğiyle gözlemliyor. Sabahın sessizliğinden akşamın kalabalığına uzanan bu görsel yürüyüş, mekânın sadece fiziksel değil, sosyal bir üretim olduğunu hissettiriyor.

Concepts: Kino-Pravda, Camera-Eye, Lived Space, Urban Rhythm, Flâneur, Lefebvre, Everyday Life, İzmir, Kemeraltı.
