„Analogue formats Study“ explorers the discourses of the analogue photographic formats in terms of measurement and standardization. It defines analogue photographic formats as the confinement of multidimensional reality into the polygon of 2-dimensionality and the representations of specific measurements in accordance with the camera model based on the standard measurement system. The measurement of formats brings up a concealed abyss in the exactitude of measuring in a standard system. The accuracy of actual format sizes has consequently slight variance with official sizes since in the production of camera model, exposure and measurement process it happens to be inaccurate as well as randomly rounded off results to the first decimal place by the physicality of the ruler and the observer. Furthermore, the hand-drawn grids of photographic formats in official values matched with actually enlarged formats reveal a rift between technical imperfection of physical conditions

Artist statement: I work in the fields of photography, drawings, installation and sculpture. My projects revolve around the elements of photographic mediums dealing with physical and technical problems such as measurements, algorithms, analogue/digital difference and representation of language of formality accompanied by the processuality of the image. In conjunction with the themes, I investigate the intersection of biology, chemiphysical phenomena and mathematical problems with photographic reality. It aims to make the subliminal intercommunication between the distinctive languages visible. So it seeks an unforeseen convergence point evoking the sense of relatability to the concealed phenomenon of our technologic society. Keen also on the reconstructed historicity of disparate spaces through photography, it explores how human being interacts with the environment. The interdependency with each other is presented with the choreographed body infused with the characteristics of accorded movement in contradistinctive circumstances.
