Unseen Photo Fair 2019

Soaked, 2019
Zeynep Kayan

In the new series “Soaked”, 2019, Kayan revisits the idea of capturing the movements of the production on the surface of the photograph. She soaks her printed photographs in water, lets the liquid move through the pores of their paper and reshape them. The spontaneous, uncontrollable and unrepeatable results of this gesture placed on top of the same image are then documented in Kayan’s photography of the photographs – a repeated action adding more layers, let them be the water its or the same photograph or other materials, and thus changing the image.
