Non/Living
Yildiz Müge
Non/Living is an exploration that delves into the collaboration between living organisms; Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeasts) and non-living, a ghost archaeologist. The film tries to find an approach between human and nonhuman beings while investigating ecological filmmaking and materialist films. Müge Yıldız held several experiments to find the best recipe to produce a movie with microorganisms, focusing on the intersection of art and science, including process-based experimentation and surface-based or cameraless filmmaking.
