Barış Doğrusöz is an artist and filmmaker. His practice finds its starting point with the residual matter of a more or less distant past. By appropriating and recuperating this historical and geographical substrate Doğrusöz creates installations and videos that interrogate the notion of territory, border and scale whether physical or symbolical, where fragmented elements such as found footage, military material, archeological artefacts operate as a prequel and premonition for a near future fiction.
