Car Lift

Car lift, one single gaze with a single camera and performing in the Industrial estate near my home town, Torbali - Izmir. Figure is lying up, down position and posing sense of erotic offering attraction to the viewer.
Industrial space generally occupy with masculine, macho and mainly man workers. Single screen film showing with slow and speed motions.
As a voice saying all the time in Turkish language kind of dialog with other person and they are asking: "Kaldirayim mi? (Can I be lifted? Answering: Kaldir (Lifted)

Also there is sense of erotic in the saying like Can I be erected? Erect. This repeating of the same words are giving sense of how we are listening to the same words in everyday life from politicans they are lifting up important files to the shelfs and they are not resolving the issues of human life. They are all the time doing Lift or put away...

 
Car Lift | Single channel DVD | 2′ 43″ | 2013 In the Car lift video work I visited my hometown’s industrial region of Torbali – Izmir. I chose to perform in the stereotypically macho space of a car garage with industrial site workers. “Car lift” uses a car-lifting machine and I used my body to lay down in a variety of cliche fashion poses with two man repeating words. The soundtrack creates a link between the two atmospheres of the place which range from the mundane to the sexually charged.
