拍品专文

'The photography entitled Self-portrait as Screaming Lady, (After Nuri Iyem) is part of my recent project which is "Selfportrait as Modern Turkish Art." In this project, I am putting myself in front of the camera and try to act like the women whom we see in modern Turkish paintings. I am playing with the moment of posing. In this way, I created a series consisting of photographs and videos which reflect the transformation of the image of women in modern Turkish Art and modern Turkish History. This work refers to the famous Turkish painter Nuri Iyem's work entitled Scream. In this painting, Iyem depicted a woman who screams while she is escaping from a forest fire. While I was posing as this woman, I wanted to create a scream not only as a reference to the fire but also because of everything around me.
