Amor Fati or Amor Fado

Shot between Lisbon and Istanbul, Amor Fati or Amor Fado is a layered, emotional reflection on the intertwinement of fate, longing, saudade and the echoes of fleeting intimacy. The piece explores a transient connection between two people through overlapping urban imagery, archival textures, and a soundscape that merges live fado music with recorded dialogue. In this intimate choreography of cityscapes and conversation, Lisbon's melancholia embraces Istanbul's unrest, tracing a sensual map of desire, displacement, and transitory affection.
