Bir t\u00fcr hakikat pornografisi, ya da ma\u011fara alegorisi.<\/p>\n

Ger\u00e7e\u011fi ya yitirdik ya da yitirmek \u00fczereyiz. Kameralar\u0131n arzular\u0131m\u0131z \u00fczerine yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131 etkiden bahsediyorum.

Dijital ile \u2018do\u011fal\u2019 olana daha da mesafelendik. Dokunma duyumuz bile dolay\u0131mland\u0131. Bir t\u00fcr dolay\u0131mlar evreni i\u00e7indeyiz. Oturma odam\u0131z her yer, her yer ise ekrandaki g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fc oldu.

This installation is somewhat related to the kind of life we are exposed to, how we perceive it; the difference between appearances and reality. Undoubtedly, this structure that dominates space is both light and heavy. Invites you to an expedition through interfaces towards the inside. A kind of pornography of truth, or an allegory of the cave.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve either lost the truth or are about to lose it. The effect that cameras have on our desires, the proliferation and rapid spread of digital interfaces and images have both changed our realities and increased our expectations, and so our disappointments too.<\/p>\n

Via digital, we\u2019ve distanced ourselves even more from the \u2018natural\u2019. Even our sense of touch has been mediated. We are in a kind of universe of mediations. Our living room is everywhere and everywhere has become the image on the screen. The truth has become a kind of pornography on the screen that is re-written and re-presented to us every day.<\/p>\n

It seems impossible to go outside, see the truth in the daylight and warn those in the cave. Because outside is now a world of appearances, some of us are now looking for an INSIDE to escape into with our tents. Life is now both very light and very heavy.<\/p>\n
