In Anatomy of Things, Turkish video artist and photographer Yonca Karakaş focuses on improvement of the human mind and dogmatic ideas. In her show that re-defines the perception of “reality,” Karakaş builds a new universe with the objects she uses, the spaces she creates and the characters she creates. Yonca Karakaş creates a brand-new universe by manipulating the viewers’ sense of “reality” through the objects, space, states and characters that she uses. Pieces of meat in frames, crosses made of candies, giant lobsters, necklaces of donuts, perfect skins, android and cold characters avoiding eye contact, and cloning. “Can I make great meanings when taking pictures, can I post a message today?”, she asks. “Instead of putting myself into a situation like this, I try everything that comes from me. The freedom to do what we want without being concerned about giving a message in this universe, where we try to live in a compressed reality creates an alternative space away from today’s knowledge and norms in which I can move freely, pertaining to me, related to work I performed.”
