CONTEMPORARY ISTANBUL 10, IPEK DUBEN

MANUSCRIPT  X


In 1994 I had created a visual non-narrative text. A sacred book. MANUSCRIPT 1994.
It constituted of 51 plates. The plates formed units of threes and ones.
The units stood for words. The words formed 4 sentences.


The book was a meditation on identity.
I was looking at the narrow gap between life and death, identity and nothingness.


In Manuscrit X series I am looking through a colored lense at a time line 
through the past and present focusing on tradition and modernity as they meet
and break in the vessel of the female body.


This story exposes, it moves, it does not end.
