praise for delay.


 



moving closer to void 

roads to approach the void

Praise for delay has been a project centred on distorting and misleading perception. It therefore does not fit into a particular aesthetic perception or an impressionistically stable logical framework.







Obruk is a large and deep pit formed as a result of the melting of karstic rocks by underground waters and the collapse of these rocks over time. Çıralı Obruk is approximately 250 metres in diameter and 20 metres deep. This natural formation fascinates visitors to the region with its dramatic structure that suddenly emerges on the surrounding flat terrain.


The area around the sinkhole is ecologically rich with its natural vegetation and rare plant species.

Does the relativity of time allow it to be experienced in different ways? 


Shadows
is it a reflected trace or an illusion?

The relativity of time allows us to experience it in different ways.
Different stories are written due to relativity.


the ruling of the time 
It's a marvellous time, but it's just a name. 
only human calls it time
the deep and frightening weight in the sinkhole and the time that makes it live 
the perception of time shaken by our lives, 
our delusions,
our dialogue with time 
How can it be realised in this sinkhole where time is dominated in a different way?

,

shared and relative characteristics
neighbourhood and attraction qualities 
a kind of choreography where the tempo is questioned

When you watch, you can see the shadows, but you may not be able to make out the body behind the shadow. 
the body could be a lot further away  


Overlapping and dissolution beyond the body and objects
Time is layered and differentiated.
Different things happen simultaneously or we witness different things at the same time.
In this story, as we descend to the floor of the sinkhole, we approach the void. The shadows falling on the void leave different traces.
Some last for a short time, some for a long time.
