ziyaret / visit is the second part of an essayistic trilogy by Aykan Safoğlu that investigates the relationship between photography, transgression, and remembrance. The film is weaving together analog polaroid and middle-format photographs, the processes and visualizations of their digital scanning, and a voice-over narration that embraces the melodramatic and is rhythmed by the repeating sounds of a photo scanner. 

World premiere at 65th Int. Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen
