Research Overview

My research explores cinema as a Dynamic Memory Machine, examining how film creates, stores, and reshapes personal, collective, and cultural memory. Drawing on memory studies, film theory, and practice-based research, I investigate the relationship between narrative, fragmentation, archival imagery, and audience participation. My work considers how films do more than represent memory; they actively construct memory through cinematic form, aesthetics, and spectatorship. Through both theoretical analysis and creative practice, I explore how cinema functions as a site where past and present intersect, enabling viewers to reconstruct meaning and experience memory as a dynamic, evolving process.
