- Lives (lived) in Turkey
I was born in 1979 Denizli / Turkey. I was graduated from the Faculty of Communication, Department of Cinema Television in 2001. I have been working as an academician in departments of Cinema TV in various in Turkey universities since 2002. I did masters degree with my thesis titled "Types of Fear and Tension in Cinema: Building Tension in Alfred Hitchcock's Films" in 2006. I received the doctoral degree with my thesis titled "The Effect of Space in Cinematic Meaning and Use of Space in Turkish Cinema since 2000" in 2013. I participated in various symposiums with assertions titled "The Relationship between the Chaos Physics, Quantum Theories and Cinema" between 2006-2008. I participated in various international festivals with short film and documentary projects that I directed throughout my studentship and academicianship. I lectured as a guest instructor at Denmark (Lillebealt) and Finland (Lapland) universities for a short time in 2009 and 2012. I did local researches in Kazakhstan within the scope of a scholarship for 3 months in 2010.
I conducted various photography projects in Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, France, Spain and Finland within the scope of my digital photography works that I started in 2011. I still carry out duty as a Dr. A Faculty of Fine Arts in Turkey. I lecture on "Scriptwriting", "Cinema and Literature", "Art Cinema", "Cinematography" and "Documentary Film" lessons.
I do not regard the photography, cinema and academicianship works as a professional job. In my opinion, these study areas are just an instrument of reaching goals such as knowing and exploring the unknown local cultures that are neglected in the globalizing and monotonous life and against the esthetic senses / impositions and getting closer to nature. I believe that the world will be saved by beauty and the beauty will be brought by differences.
The art works of the artist are dominated by the colors gray and black.
