About the Item
The photographs of the young Turkish artist Melissa Mizrakli focus on the human body, giving it a personal interpretation. In some of her black and white works she uses the human body only as a pictorial sign in order to create almost abstract works. First made anonymous, the female model is then cloned and circularly multiplied. The result is a kind of wheel in which the repeated human body gives birth to a new, seemingly vegetal or mineral structure. Thus, the human element seems to be transformed into different other natural species. Rendered in two versions (positive and negative) this couple of works also calls to mind the yin-yang principle.
The mirroring or the reflecting effect, creating multiple symmetries, is also reminiscent of a standardized world. On the other hand, Mızraklı’s works could express the belief that communication among people relies on synchronized movements, adopted mostly unconsciously.
When asked to comment of her photographs, Mizrakli only states: “They are whatever you see when you look at them…”, to prevent herself and her works from being labeled.
