Reflected past

2015

When I was younger, my family regularly held projection nights which took me to places that I had never been before. This was all thanks to my parents. Their personal reports shepherded me in a new line towards my then and now feeling about these particular memories.

I treat my pictures on 3-time planes. These being: My parents’ past, my past, and my present. All of which I achieved with the projector’s ability to illustrate a fictional world related to my, or someone else’s experiences. Additionally, it was important for me to project these images with the same slide projector that my parents used in my childhood.

My series is based on the reinterpretation of landscapes. My aim is to complete the landscapes with personal feelings which have connections to my childhood. If we leave the veritable imaging of the landscape aside, we can accomplish any imaginary landscapes. It is only our imagination that can impose the limit. To achieve my goal, I started thinking about how much people can picture all the visual information that is not present in the actual scenery, but in their dreamlike imagination, it is.
