Göçmenler
The project „Göçmenler“ (turk. migrants or wanderer) deals with the aerial as well as transnational migration of images, symbols, ideas and philosophies, which occur simultaneously, detached from the physical migration of man but hasn’t found it’s recognition in the public dialogue yet. Initiating in a photograph of a graffiti found in the streets of Istanbul, variations of reproductions have been migrating through Europe, crossing national, social as well as political borders. Considering images as living organisms, they are moving, independent of cultural and social conventions, temporary and regional factors, while shifting in shapes and materials. Whereas following locations are yet unknown – like in the general sense of migration – the work underlines that not only people are actors of migration but images can be understood with a mental addition and creating new perspectives.
