"Tempus Aeternitas" (Eternal Time) Photography Exhibition

         Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Communication, Department of Photography and Video




 

Young Talents of Bahçeşehir

Fotoğrafevi Allianz Gallery in Beyoğlu is hosting, from 28 January to 13 February, the photography exhibition titled "Tempus Aeternitas" (Eternal Time). Consisting of works by three talented students of the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Communication, Department of Photography and Video, Cihan Poçan, Kerem Çobanlı and Murat Kublay, as well as Head of Department Melih Zafer Arıcan, the exhibition is a rebellion against the relationship between photography's ontological and technological impositions and time. The calm black-and-white frames in the exhibition, the product of a year of meticulous work, try to convey the endless course of time and reveal the spirit of places, defying photography's narrative that belongs to a very small slice of time and the way each new camera pushes people to take photos ever faster. Created with exposure times of about 5 minutes on average, the photographs succeed in reflecting both the sense of harmony inherent in nature and the flow of time captured in a single frame.

The exhibition also holds special significance for the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Communication, Department of Photography and Video. Although only three years old, the Department of Photography and Video, which has made a name for itself in this field with its distinguished faculty and activities such as photo shows held in various cities and year-end exhibitions, is presenting its work outside the campus with an exhibition for the first time.
