Beyond Logic Inspired by Istanbul Docks. Dedicated to Mr.Pinhole & jaja
One meets many buildings. Like people’s faces, some of them tell enriching stories, others mirror the surprised looking eye, some challenge future memories, supposable holding on human wish of immortality. Surely all of them sense your close presence. By comparing and pulling together images from different sources, combining the surprising and the anticipated in a sharp meticulousness, using the tensions and affinities between the images, I shape dreamlike stories inspired by Istanbul. Focusing on the semantic core of visualization by liquefying and/or disrupting the boundaries between the photographs and the structures of fictional narratives. The series questions the existence and the adequate representation surrounding obsolete modernist space taking example of the KarakÜy shipyard on the Bosphorus.
I like to show the point of contact for this methodology of organizing-through-complicating. mainly focussing on identity, design culture and minor histories.
