The common feature in Burcu Aksoy’s latest series is her choice of not using photography as a representation tool of existence and states of existence, based on objective reality. The aesthetic deconstruction she set forth in her works can be defined as Aksoy’s emancipation in her own unique language by the involvement of the unconscious in the mind’s last step of realization which starts with the intuition.
The photographs; as the objects of significance in their own universe come across with the perception and interpretation of the literate viewer. Through facing this object of significance - just as it is in objective world - the viewer will realize his/her perception. These works become objects in the existence of the unique language formed by the artist.
The traces of raw images rubbed into reality does not hold any other meaning than being material, as multiple layers under a brand new root for the photograph’s language. This is because Burcu Aksoy never works with a production mentality that is narrative. On the contrary, she creates a subjective space as oppose to objective reality and deconstructs the modernism’s hegemonic understanding that aims and produce the equalization of perception in viewer.
In these photographs we witness a space – time relation that directly forms their own roof in “combined timing” construct rather than the traditional mentality which reduce this relation to a “moment”. Therefore the literate viewer will create his/her own perception and interpretation from the photograph that combines multiple layers of different moments with their subjective time’s “now”.
