Bookmark; Study of Graphics in Extended Media; installation and digital graphics
Year: 2022The "Bookmark" installation and digital graphics piece studies graphics in extended media. The work, inspired by the process of weaving, creates a whole by bringing together small dots of time. The work is named "Bookmark" because it mimics the markers of time found in book bookmarks. Temporality, the philosophical concept of limited and changing existence in time, guides the creation process and record keeping of the moments when the working day ends. The five-year study is expressed through an artistic metaphor, a "weaver's chronograph" made from a painting frame and dryer used for printing graphics. Weaving serves as a barrier between the artist and time and the work is based on the organization of collected content that poses an artistic problem.
That's how my work got the name "Bookmark," because the time markers I subsequently recorded in the work closely mimic book bookmarks. In a broader sense, a book is any large-scale language document that is fixed in writing and is recorded on easily portable material. The involvement of a letter and appropriate writing material was required for the discovery of a book. A book is a portable physical object as well as a body of immaterial representation or intellectual object, which material signs are written or drawn lines.
The weaving process is based on the same mathematical principles as the graphic process. From this idea , I decided to create a digital graphic sheet that encapsulates the essence of my artistic expression. For it, I used the laptop as my tool, which connects my business and artistic spaces - there are no time constraints, and they measure one pixel.
