46 minutes, 2012, video installation, 46'

"The Tunnel",  Solo Exhibition, Tophane-i Amire Kültür Sanat Merkezi Sarnıç Galeriler, Istanbul-Turkey

Video recordings from the trip to Chios from Çeşme lies on a projection screen.

On the facing screen, just about the same projection, goes from Chios to Çeşme...

Both films, like the trip itself, last exactly 46 minutes …

The same sea… the same air… the same land.

The only thing that changes is the direction of the water.

The viewer crosses a border continuously…

…goes back and forth between two continents, two languages, two religions.

Lives my past and present… unconsciously.

Or nothing happens.
