Yarım uykular, soluksuz kayıplar: Fotoğraf, bellek ve anlam üzerine görsel bir yolculuk

As Henry Bergson points out, memory images that we have stored in our minds throughout our lives trigger our past experiences and help form the moment we live in. This thesis is an attempt to challenge my perception about the issues that are bodily disturbing for me in my memories. It is related with the level of intimacy and the blurred line between private and public that makes me uncomfortable. This thesis explores this point through a photo-text project consisting of different sets of photographs that trigger my own memories through wandering on the body and outside.The project aims to activate in the viewer an inner journey with the help of close-up body images and photographs taken outside. These images, which come from different time, space and bodies, are grouped into sets that form new wholes. These visual sets are accompanied by lines from various unpublished poems in order to simulate the audience to activate them with their own memories and create new readings.
