Ghosts In Google Street View (2026)

Ghosts In Google Street View stands as an innovative experimental short film that fuses vintage desktop visuals, meticulously crafted simulations, and candid documentation of daily routines. The narrative ignites when contemporary artist Kadir Kayserilioğlu randomly discovers a humble stray canine portrait embedded within Google Street View. Compelled by the photograph’s quiet resonance, he maps out the precise GPS coordinates and embarks on a ground-level expedition to locate the living animal behind the pixelated frame. This initial quest for a missing pet rapidly expands into a layered meditation on how online footprints and real-world geography converge. As the boundaries between virtual curation and tactile presence dissolve, the work delves into broader philosophical territory, examining how stories take shape and how tangible moments inevitably slip away.
