Map of Temporary Juxtaposition Volume II. 2012, Poster-map
Stitching and embroidery on collected paper and fabric
Variously dimensions
The wall installation is composed of waste material, paper, needlework on handkerchiefs and found objects collected and recorded during the ‘Reciprocal Visit” journey organized by Apartment Project for 18 days. In 2009 a group of artist from Turkey followed a route from Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan to Iran for contact with artists and collectives from each visited countries.
Beginning with the question ‘how can I get to know a country, its people and its stance in three days?’ I started collecting waste material and handcarts, newspaper,etc. at every destination we visited ager Georgia. I can say that the wall installation Temporary Juxtapositions, including images embroidered on ephemeral material and found objects, is a map of the momentary dialogues and encounters experienced during the journey made out of waste material.
