Fata Morgana, Alper Aydın’s first solo exhibition, takes its title from a rare aerial phenomenon. Formed by the vertical dispersion of air masses, it creates an optical reflection between layers of air at different densities thus, emerges as an object or a group of objects suspended above the horizon. The exhibition is conceived as a post-apocalyptic reflection of images about unusual scenarios. It examines the Earth’s geological formation, the myth of the creation of Adam and Eve, the dialogues established by humankind with nature and life, the traces of the Earth, and nature after human beings. Based on these contexts, the works in the exhibition will be on view in the open lands of Cape Sülü and Cape Jason, where the artist was born and raised, as well as Jason Church and Taşbaşı Church. Spreading over an area of approximately a hundred hectares, the distances between the works create a perception specific to the works and allow the audience to explore the territory and feel the atmosphere. In this respect, besides being a phenomenon to witness, the exhibition focuses on directly expressing the dialogue of nature, the sea, the volcanic rocks, and the region’s history with the works. Fata Morgana–the broadest solo public art exhibition concerning land in the art history of Turkey–aims to provide a deep and spiritualized experience by narrating the truth about our existence.
