Description:
The film examines James Baldwin's extended time in Istanbul during the 1960s and 70s, using found materials like Sedat Pakay's photographs to explore the boundaries of his autobiography. Through a video-essay format, it investigates themes of racism, global conversations, queer politics, and appropriation art. "Off-white Tulips" presents a fictional conversation with Baldwin, centering on his Istanbul years. The film layers Baldwin’s identity as a Black gay author with the narrator's personal history through manipulated documents and objects. An associative narrative incorporates references to Turkish and American pop culture, etymological explorations, and reflections on visual representation to offer a critique of racism from a specific perspective.
