Wandering: dol-aş-ma

Abstract

This study of complementary text quality aims at offering textual basis of my five works (four experimental videos and one audio-visual installation) produced in the last two years within the framework of the concepts such as time, memory, experience, home movie and experimental video through interpreting these. All concepts discussed have been attempted to be explained/given a meaning particularly in the context of photograph and moving image, and then, my works have been interpreted over these concepts. In the core of my works, there lie concepts of experience and performativity, and time and memory that I believe to constitute the base of the former two. In my works I attempted to create a different meaning and perception by combining together the images I collected generally via several media (video, photograph, sound). Thus, by being abstracted from their contexts through the process, these personal images, which could merely be a memory, document, representation of reality, gain some qualities to provide opportunities for various interpretations.
