Summary/Abstract: The concept of triangular desire proposed by René Girard for the definition of a literary work on a “romanesque” frame proposes that the truth of a literary work, lies at the basis of the desire of the characters in the work. Girard, who articulates this desire with Hegel's concept of unhappy consciousness and Sartre's notion of bad faith, describes it as a mimetic desire plays a role and a desire for another's desire and defines it with a flexible triangular figure in which he places a second subject (mediatior) between the object and the subject (desirer - desired). According to Girard, this second subject is the main source of the desire of the essential subject and carries the authenticity that saves a literary work from a romantic lie of desire. This text is intended to examine the uncovering of the Girardian desire in Tayfun Pirselimoglu’s films. With the definitions we have, Tayfun Pirselimoğlu’s cinema which we will define and examine as an identity change and being another person can be handled with a parallel approach to revealing the desire that Girard traces in important writers from Cervantes to Proust. İn this work, we will argue that the desires of the characters in the director's films are formed with a “mediator”, and transformed with a“ mediator ”.we will argue that their desires are formed and transformed by a “mediator”.
