Yaşam Şaşmazer at Arter's collection exhibition, In Its Own Shadow (19/10/2023)
Drawn from the Arter Collection, the group exhibition In Its Own Shadow is conceived around thematic dualities such as inside and outside, public and private, presence and absence, memory and oblivion, void and body; and seeks out the grey areas that arise from the interplay between these notions. Embodying qualities implied by the exhibition’s title such as invisibility, uncertainty, concealment, and ambiguity, the works that form In Its Own Shadow act as an invitation for the viewers to pursue the traces that take shape in their minds, to search for what remains in shadows, and to engage in an exhibition experience that will be enriched by their own mental and emotional participation.
