A mapping of camouflage (2007)

The striking thing about a camouflaged object is that you see it, you walk along the object, or you could maybe even touch it. But still the object stays concealed.

How? It plays with your expectations, because you see the object, you automatically think to know it. But it is not what it seems. One can only reveal the object by looking at it with a different perception.

Camouflage is about playing with the expectations of the observer with the goal to deceive the observer.

For the mappings I observed random objects in Istanbul at camouflage aspects. As if nothing is what it seems. I looked at the images with a different perception. I twisted and turned the expectations. From these two-dimensional images, I created three dimensional camouflage spaces. I make camouflage spatial.

A collection of different possibilities what camouflage and space can mean.

Beneath you can view the collection.
