Description:
The motif of crumpled and folded paper is linked to the trompe-l'œil painting tradition: the boundary between representation and reality does not merely blur but becomes fundamentally uncertain. The use of various photographic techniques can be understood in the context of 20th-century photograms and experimental photographic processes—echoing the legacy of Man Ray and Moholy-Nagy’s explorations. In contrast, the organic pigments evoke the material strategies of land art and the material-oriented approach of contemporary painting research. The crumpled and folded paper at the center of this collage series serves as a structural imprint of time. It is not a static image but the result of an action: the transformation and deformation of paper function as independent carriers of meaning. Folding and creasing are not merely illustrative tools but manifestations of the tension between medium and material. The process itself can be interpreted as a performative gesture, where the hand and time are not decorative elements but primary agents of formation.
