La Turquie Construit
2013
Installation
In this work, I tried to built a imaginative pavillion of early modernist period of Turkish Republic. I aimed to create playful artefacts of alteration which explore parallels between the morphological properties of modernist architecture and restructuring of Turkish society.
The starting points of these series were the ambivalence of nation identity issue during modernist construction of early Turkish Republic. Images on the objects selected through a thorough / comprehensive scanning of archived publications of 1925-1945’s Turkey. Then these images were transformed into original collages and imitations of advertisement icons on the objects in the appearence of corporate gifts.
