ASLI ÇELİKEL - COGNIZANCE-2 SECONDS

The literal meaning of the word “cognizance” is the mental interpretation of the visible reality seen through the stimulus of the external world. The visuals transmitted to you are transformed into a way of seeing formed by where you live, where you grew up and what your experiences are. The first perception of the incident or the fact directly links up to your experiences. Even if the cognizance frame seen in the photographs can vary between different societies, it is directed without questioning its first perception. The 2 seconds in the project title is the axis change time of the photographs. 

['Cognizance-2 Seconds' is a graduation project dating back to 2014]
