Phytogram
 

     In this survey, I dealt with alternative photography processes that are made without a camera. It was not about precisely mixing emulsions, but about getting to know photo papers and I examined the various technical possibilities inherent in paper, I was interested in e.g.: How do we get different colors? How do different photo papers react to light? Does this affect the final color result? How does heat affect it?, etc.

In addition to acquiring and experimenting with chemical technical knowledge, I thought it was important to create a product of fine art and philosophy. Therefore, the depicted object was the living world and depictions of different plants. I accompany the viewer through the life of the plants through the finished works, telling the stories of the plants.

     The thoughts of Simon Hantai, who was committed to "folding as a method" talked about a kind of "continuous blindness", when you can no longer see what is happening in the bend, and randomness is born from the uncontrollable. These coincidences and uncontrollable things - when an expected/unexpected result, a "miracle" is born as a result of a reaction between two materials - arouse my interest and affect my entire art.

Another explanation for this process is that it creates a memory of the carrier (paper), the plant that once breathed in the sunlight from the ground (imaging/mirror of the plant), or the situation that once existed (the process of preparation, which happened and was created at the moment). It is also the imprint of the dimension of forgetting, since in our present case we get the shadow, imprint, dead copy of a real plant, therefore it contains a kind of passing that illustrates the history of time.
