Object and Space


Madrid
1\1000 Scale

Windmills(30 m), Scluptures(14 m)

Here is the idea to see this little sculpture in different spaces but as high as an average human body size. I bring together 4 elements in nature from artistic perspective. The windmills indicate the wind and the sculptures stand for earth,fire and water(The sculptures are teracotta firing to angage the nature)

Which Language?


Generally why do we have so little hand-contact in our social lives? If hands are just another body part, why do we shy away from them..Can we communicate with our hands without using any words? Is it easy? Is it stronger than using words? Can we express all our feelings with a part of our body?

“Trace This Book”

I think libraries does not have enough art object inside, even when they have one, generally is not the best match for the athmosphere of libraries. I have created an art object spesificly for libraries which you can touch it; you can turn the pages of this art book as like read it. I used two different old classic novels for this project. One of theme is in Spanish;”Sentido and Sesibilidad”-Sense and Sensibility- from Jane Austen and another one is in Catalan;”Per Qui Toquen Les Campanes”,-whom for The Bells Tolls-;from Ernest Hamingway.

I have changed these book’s nature from literature art to visiual art. You can take this books from library shelf and watch it; trace it as like read this book page by page.Every page’s folding type is different from others. While you are turning the pages you are going to see different wiew and backrounds from each page from first to last.

I am sure that everybody can find their individual experiences and interpretation by tracing these books.



“397 x 0,5”

Sentido and Sesibilidad, Novel, 397 folded pages.

This book pages was good quality and it gave to me good chance to create so many different folding and bending style.You can touch, smell the old pages, search your favourite page levels,feel the folding textil on this site spesific art book in the library.








“Little Orange”

Per Qui Toquen Les Campanes, Novel, 277 page.

This book’s pages was so old and dameged.The colours of pages was brown and yellow scale. I used this natural alterated version of this old pages. I tried to give 3D effect and dipper wiew with using this page’s colour while folding them.

MINIMALISM
"Removing The Unnecessary"

Main theme of my project is ‘Trees in the streets that I walk by
every day.’ I am presenting this natural structure element as an art
object.
• Apart from any extra sign, symbol and concept. Without adding
any extra meaning of their stance and existence.
• I am presenting few pieces from their bodies, without changing
any color, without adding any artistic touch.
• I just become a mediator to transfer their esthetic stand to you.

THE TOWER OF BABEL - IDENTITY
"My Finger Prints Project"

Each individual person develops different identity concepts depending on own family and community structure. Different culture, different language, different religion, different ethnic structures, different social structure, etc. causes that every person develops different identities. All abovementioned identity concepts are gained by human being after born. But the Finger-Print is the one of the unique identity concept which person has it once he / she falls mother’s uterus.My most important reason to come to Metafora was my desire to have different art shearing / creating experiences with other people from different ethnic origins. I am working to transform my abovementioned desire to reality by creating an art object with people’s fingerprints however is unique for each individual person but does not identify any other specifications like ethnic, religious, etc. People from different cultures, will be in the same art object as purified from gathered identity concepts but with their unique identity characteristic. Only one topic ‘HUMAN’. By creating this art object from finger prints, My vision is to approach an artistic structure to highlight only common identity specification for all people in Metafora ‘special person’, No other emblem, icon, or differences will be highlighted. By collecting this fingerprints on an object, I am targeting to document a record of people who gathered at Metafora from many different backgrounds on 2009-2010 season and also creating a historical link of today to our future.
