Jülide Tüfenk

A vampire, lost in the eternity of life, comes to question his own existence. He abandons all his other goals to pursue a single purpose: playing the theremin. Yet, in this seemingly simple exercise, he constantly stumbles. Despite everything, managing to draw sound from the void at the heart of the void becomes the only way for him to give meaning to his existence. This effort remains his sole anchor in the face of the absurdity of immortality.

A collection of 8mm film reels from İlhan Mimaroğlu’s archive—once tucked away in whisky boxes—has found new life through art. Curated by director Serdar Kökçeoğlu and producer Dilek Aydın, the project brings together visual artists and musicians to reimagine these long-lost images. Over thirty artists transformed the footage into fifteen distinct audiovisual pieces, blending experimental soundscapes with contemporary video art. The project concludes with a special highlight: the first-ever screening of Mimaroğlu’s silent short film about a street jazz festival, accompanied by Erdem Helvacıoğlu’s dark jazz score.
