Damla Bozoglu works across film, video, writing, and installation. Her practice often begins with ordinary gestures, domestic rituals, or encounters of desire, then slowly displaces them into heightened emotional systems where memory, identity, authorship, and longing begin to fracture.

Shot from a child's perspective, the film unfolds inside a café where objects, gestures, and time begin to shift in meaning. Through playful visual references to The Treachery of Images, the familiar becomes uncertain: a coffee, a dessert, a moment; none of them is quite what they seem.
