C.A.M. Gallery Presents Murat Germen's ' Facsimile Vol.2'

C.A.M. Gallery hosts Murat Germen's latest works under the 'Facsimile Vol.2' title on 31st of October 2013.

The artist, who exhibited challenging visual experimentations with his 'Muta-morphosis' series, continues his artistic practice on urban photography in his recent works. Both Muta-morphosis and Facsimile series focus on the perpetual transformation of the urban scenes. While the older series, i.e. Muta-morphosis, maximizes the urban content by shrinking very long panoramic photos into a photographic frame with a typical ratio; Facsimile on the contrary, extends certain parts of cities to attract attention to particular dynamics among various urban components.

It is not a coincidence to see Murat Germen focus on Turkey's 'present time'. Regardless of the subject, perspective or technique; the artist handles the cultural, economic and social geography shaped by New Turkey in such unexpected ways that his works forms a 'personalized' documentary approach, that is difficult to comprehend at first glance.
