Open Door // Open Call_ Nesrin Esirtgen Collection_ Exhibition (2015)

 
This installation composed of three works is based on how we are influenced by words and images. While the paper work Serendipity & Kairos undoubtedly focuses on form and literary dimension, the triptych photograph entitled - Windfall ! and the video entitled Last Call underline certain textual and editorial codes originating from cinema aesthetics. The word “- Windfall !” on the photograph appearing as a movie’s subtitles has an open ended fictional characteristic. The video, on the other hand, includes 8 movie intros. The flow of the video footage and the fictional names I prepared during editing transform the video into a surreal, an ironically never starting, fictional movie. In spite of the different dynamics they carry, these three works share the common ground of fictional open endedness and fantasy dimension.
