Corrupted Family Portraits

2012

“Corrupted Family Portraits” series interrogate several global values moving from the fragile body of the age of technology which is the symbol of our search for the rational perfection. The works in the series are presented as images lacking of some parts due to the problems that occurred in the regular memory cards or uncompleted file transfers. Here we can talk about a reenactment of a technological failure beside of individual loss of memory. The fact that no matter how they’re designed to operate perfectly, technological devices become a victim of accidents shows us that how far the societies worshipping rationalism fall apart from the point they aimed for. At this point, Corrupted Family Portraits implement a duty as well to be a document that informs the future spectators by emphasizing the existence of such a failure of its age. These failures also point at the degree of global connectivity since they have become elements being shared globally.
