In April 2020, she initiated the "Temporal Assemblages" online project on Instagram, inspired by Vinegar Syndrome—a film degradation process. Operating under the username @Katsakh, it encompasses three components: "Katsakh: Mediterranean Archives": A personal collection of super 8mm and 16mm non-fiction films capturing Eastern Mediterranean towns and villages from the 1930s to the 1970s. "Capsules and Experiments": A creative exploration of celluloid's materiality and the interplay of temporalities through experimental filmmaking. And "Obsolescence": A compilation of cherished and valuable obsolete frames and footage.
