The first solo exhibition of photographer Safak Taner, founder of Turkey’s first and only Academic Music Internet TV(YOYOM tv) and International Young Classicals Festival along having considerable recognition in the advertisement and fashion world, is “ALL THATS’S LEFT FROM/IN THE PAST”. The most notable aspect of the exhibition consisting of 15 colored and black and white photographic prints, is that the photographic scenes, manifesting such surreal time and form, are totally depicted in real formations, free of any digital manupilations. Taner, while incorporating the display, also makes use of interactive projection technique carrying a performance character. Safak Taner, saying “when I went back to the diaries that I kept and realised that I can’t read through my ugly handwriting, I decided to record my history by means of photographing it”, describes his exhibition in a humorous way. For Taner, what he aims by this exhibition is proving that the final objective of taking photographs is recording the daily life. The Photographer summarizes the act of recording as such: “one that does not keep record of his life is like ‘tabula rasa’; even if he commits the biggest sin, despite looking white in essence, whiteness is not always a sign of purity”. In the photographs, signifying how epic moments can become of ordinary things and happenings, after being recorded; instances of ordinary people and places squeezed between birth, love, freedom is shown as magnified and acts of courage.
