Statements on photos…”jump” series

“Jump” is a sign of facing up to history, cities and their veins, magnificience of impeccable historical buildings, their oppresive powers and their hidden meanings. These buildings…Why they look so dominant over me? Am I a victim who was dog-tired under them or shall I be a new Don Quichotte by my jumps to touch their peaks? Or should the act of “jump” be accepted admiration of reaching the splendidness of Otoman emperorship? City and history…They again fall upon me!... All I am to do is to accept to be a city-victim. Here, you see, how I am incapable of reaching out them! Anyhow, one can say that it was so exciting event. At least there is always someone who wants to cope with the buildings. Here, my mind and soul with no purpose, making irony of the spectator with a shocking vision, show again this eternal unresolution. I invite you to great contemplation where art stirs stroms on funny (dark humour), simple and almost ordinary subjects.
CAN WE CREATE OUR MOST POWERFUL WORKS BY OUR OWN FAILURE?
