Fear and Security
Fear and Security talks about the fear of losing control. When photographing more these objects, instead of order, I started to see the idea of chaos in things. That became a series of pictures called Fear and Security. I also saw the great paradox because how I saw it was that by setting up security measures you are simultaneously causing fear and insecurity of that thread. In these images I tried to catch the idea of the society filing, sorting and systemizing things to be more secure, and more organized. ”Her work titles- Fear and Security, Keep Under Control, Information Failure- reinforce the idea that these stage-set-like, micro-theatrical scenes are visualized thought, visual aphorisms, emblematic abstractions. In a model-like manner they represent thoughts about the world, about tensions, opposition, overload, sources of error.” (Urs Stahel, 2003.)
Psychological and mental mechanisms of the society as well as the 9/11 incident in New York are the starting point of the series. The theme is still very current. Aesthetically these works are very simple and silent, even minimalistic.
