  Video | 2001 - 2014

The basic question of the video "Azerjap" is how we would see ourselves, if we became physically distant from our present existence and viewed our memories from the outside, either presented in our consciousness or recorded on data carriers. Both sources would be inaccurate – the image in the mind selects, embellishes or emphasizes mementos from our life, and connects them to messages, perceptions or thoughts. The technical, digitally recorded image deteriorates due to the passage of time and the development of appliances, something we have already experienced when we lost data during conversions. An image, converted over and over again, can get damaged as a file, and that bears an aesthetic significance, because the machine generates its own changes in colour and form after the photographic gesture of recording reality. This video become the representation of a personality according to this imaginary situation.
