Photograph Exhibition of Cansın İlayda Çetin “Sisyphus | Sisyphus” Opened!

Istanbul Gelisim University Fine Arts Faculty Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Department Cansın İlayda Çetin's photography exhibition "Sisyphus | Sisyphos” was on display at the Armada Upper Hall of Galerim Art Gallery in Ankara until 7 November.
 
Cansın İlayda Çetin shared her feelings and thoughts about Sisyphus, the exhibition she created with the photographs she took of Emre Arolat's architecture of the Sancaklar Mosque, on the manifest of the exhibition as follows:
 
“Staying between illusion and reality creates a certain area of existence in images where the sense of integrity is lost. This area is a reflection that separates the individual from the outside world, seeks reality both inside and outside, looks inside, escapes from himself or confesses to himself. Everything is hidden in the secret of staying in between; It is gray sandwiched between black and white. The transformation of black into white is the differentiation of art, a change in itself. Every change carries a secret. After the secret is clear. In-between is an imaginary moment in which we both see and lose ourselves in the intensity of social images.
 
When it comes to photography, we first take time to look, and then we make our comments about what the area we are looking at is. We add our experiences about life to this process of making sense, which includes many types of art, and we take the wind of our memory and the past behind us while giving meaning to new things or questioning their reality.
 
We can interpret the photographs I took not only as a cross-section of the reality conveyed to the image, but also as works that draw attention to the mobility of architecture. The dynamism in the details and the movement of the parts that make up the whole are the elements that add vitality to my photographs. Reflections and shadows arising from the material and light of the existing architectural structure add details to the images formed in our minds about photography. In this respect, photographs will activate our perceptions of reality rather than reality itself; will point to the objects that we idealize in our intellectual world.
In this series, I aim to make the viewers interpret between looking and feeling with the frames from the Sancaklar Mosque, designed by Emre Arolat in Istanbul.”
