"Daydream"

Self Diversity, Sabanci University Kasa Galerie, Istanbul, 8.11.-31.12.2006

         
         

Concept
A woman (the artis Nezaket Ekicit) sits in a beautiful dress on a bench and looks at herself on a video-screen. The film on the video-screen, showing exactly the same as what happens before the flat-screen on the bench stands symbolically for a mirror and becomes a kind of a living mirror. In the video the artist sits with her bench in the eastern sea (germany). One sees the artist at same time on the screen as a virtual reality, and as a real person: This makes a dream-like situation. The artist mirrors the latent dream world, representing reality. The variations of reality are mirrored in a flow and shift the perception of the viewer onto another stage. It is, as if the srtist becomes alive on video. The presentation truns out to be absurd after some time of watching it, because the viewer is no longer able to control switching between realtiy and virtual reality. Try not to get lost.
