Reviews

Who doesn't know a woman who has dyed her hair blonde? Or who never - not even in dreams - had an imaginary boyfriend? Aykan, maybe the story of your relationship with James Baldwin doesn't belong in the realm of fiction alone. Your work, a homage to Baldwin, rather stands on the subtle and fragile boundary between two worlds - the real and the creative - as well as between times / moments. By skillfully combining images of Baldwin with your personal exploration, 'Kirik Beyaz Laleler' creates numerous beautiful connections with viewers. We are very pleased that we can be part of your portrait of an exiled writer with whom you share three years of life (1984–1987). "
