The purpose of this study is to provide a description of the preparation process and works in my master thesis exhibition ‘A visual - verbal attempt’. As an artist book, the works examined in the thesis can be seen as a critique of deviance caused by changes in everyday life. Such a deviance, which focuses on the deviance in language and culture may be defined as an incidence of transformation of language and culture, which is deprived of semantic legitimacy or form in everyday urban life. In this respect, the basic criticism in the thesis dwells on the indifference shown against the afore-mentioned deviance, which turns into a kind of disturbance. Through an examination of visual and verbal approaches, this study aims to present an experience and observation of everyday urban life, language, history, public conscience, knowledge, and their possible impacts on one another in the format of a book.
