Interpretation

The project was created using the recording taken from Google Maps and the visual translation feature of the Google Translate application. By creating a mixed video with different language groups, it is translated into Turkish instantly. The translation language is changed according to the native language of the exhibited country.

“Geography is also subject to translation. Citing the signs of their own visual culture, they contribute to their reification by aesthetically renovating these signs. Therefore, they appear as images that also reify themselves and realize their own exploitation.

The basis of this project is based on the translation axis. Elements of a local visual or philosophical culture are transferred from the fixed traditional world in which they are coded, to a universe in motion and under the gaze of a critical reading. By focusing on the problems that occur during this transfer, it tries to open a field of inquiry through reality and the digital world.
