About this artwork
One day, I photographed myself. As I put the timer and photographed myself, by chance only the body remains on the screen. And the faceless body gazed at me like a stranger. Sometimes this body seemed to me only a mass. It then seemed to be beyond a certain border. The experience of the moment when I felt like a stranger to myself as I believed I was the closest being gave a sense of strangeness, discomfort and fascination.
First, I take hundreds… of photos for the first step of the job. Through this process, the subject is consumed as the object of the photo - the role of the object rather than the body - unlike the beginning. Sometimes cutting itself, sometimes deforming itself partially, the body gradually remains with a body which we ignore who it belongs to. And this body remains like a moment in suspense with the subject somewhere on these ambiguous borders. In this process, another, anxious and immanent begins to appear, blurring the boundaries.
