As though: concealed within images = Sanki: imgenin gizliliği

Abstract

In this thesis, I aim to describe both the conceptual and practical process behind my works. I also want to suggest a reading for my exhibition named “As Though” / “Sanki”. The concept of ‘the concealed’ is meant to refer to an indefinable space within images in the text. I aspire to create images which have something concealed within them. My goal is hereby to make various on-going interpretations of my images possible. In the first chapter, I discuss my images with an eye on the idea of mark and how the concepts of the concealed, and figure and ground relate to eachother. In the second part, I look at the archetypes, especially the shadow archetype I trace in my works. In the third chapter, some works of mine from the exhibition, “As Though” / “Sanki” are explained conceptually and in terms of the practical process they have gone through.
