Baraka

Abstract

The concept of space in the historical process of cinema and the art of architecture arising from the need for shelter have always been influenced by each other. In this process, the role of movie screenings in experiencing the environment has been essential. The visual experiences in the art of cinema not only construct the past and the future, they also enliven feelings and thoughts and thus leave traces in human memory to the images they show. What we feel and perceive while watching movies are intense visual stimuli that reflect the relationship between architecture and cinema through spatial fiction. In this study, we will focus on the relationship between space and humans, which is the main element of cinema-architecture interaction. We will try to highlight the effect and dynamism of space perception on human senses. The movie named Baraka in this study was selected considering the human-space relationship and it examines human sense and thought through the concepts of time-space mysticism.
