​

"Traces Forms" makes the process of creating works visible by documenting the working methods and intellectual background of Turkish photographers. The series, broadcast on the TRT 2 Art channel, examines artists' individual forms of expression and their relationship with social reality, transcending the technical dimension of photography.

​

In this series, brought to life under the direction of Seyfettin Tokmak with the cinematography of Kağan Daldal, the camera enters the artists' private spaces - their studios, archives, and shooting locations - becoming a direct witness to the creation processes. While recording the working disciplines of photographers with different approaches such as Orhan Cem Çetin, Ahmet Ertuğ, Ali Alışır, and Suzan Pektaş, it documents the multi-voiced structure of Turkish photography.

​

It asks concrete questions about the relationship between art, society, identity, and culture through the works of artists across a wide range, from architectural photography to alternative printing techniques, from documentary approaches to conceptual works.
