FOUR CORNERED TRIANGLE

Street vendors, civil servants, beggars, thieves, widows, racketeers, intellectuals, politicians… Our protagonist, who has adopted watching almost everything and learning every detail as a principle, works at a tobacco warehouse. Even though everyone calls him ‘Observer’, he is actually a guard.

Mehmet Güreli, a painter, writer, musician as well as a filmmaker, adapts a notoriously tricky text from Salâh Birsel, a renowned Turkish essayist. The result is a beautifully shot, monochrome, evocative labyrinth―an obscure modernist tale that is reminiscent of Melville’s account of Bartleby.
