About the Item

All about narcissism. The series, which he started during the exhibition of the Don't Tell Mama photography series at the European Nu Photo Festival (Europeen de la Photo de NU) held in Arles in Southern France in 2011, sometimes meets the beauty queens of different countries, the favorite models of agencies or the beauties working in a cafe in Arles. He continued, starting with the waitress. Sometimes the place was vast, full of innocent daisies, sometimes it was as natural as an old train station, sometimes it was as fictional as the sets surrounded by mirrors on all four sides that Erkaya had prepared in her own place. The girls were blonde, brunette, short or long hair. Soft looks, hair thrown to the wind were met with the harshest sexual messages. Simplicity and naturalness were exposed to lips with blue lipstick, hair with extended blonde curls. The vagina form found its place in each photo, without shouting. All of the models confront themselves, with their twin images. They were contradicting each other. They were all trying to explain the difference within themselves without revealing it to us. They passed through the moment and were captured by the camera with twin images. it's done, it’s over. Erkaya's compositions are always framed by a mysterious and dreamlike message, which gives his images a stylized and elegant appearance. The portraits he presents are adorned with delicate grace and strength, contrasting the classic elegance of the female body with the photographer's contemporary art techniques. The viewer must confront themes of self-perception and the modern human condition through Erkayas' works, which are bold and evocative in their symbolism. His bold use of color or sharp black and white images creates a captivating exploration of identity, duality and perception in his images. Impose the viewer to reflect on the distinction between what he perceives and what he reflects. From Self Touches Series Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Paper Edition of 7
