From the series TrabZONE
Güreş' recently finished series TrabZONE is engaged in re-enactments of some scenes she remembers from the summers of her childhood. For the artist, always looking for what is hidden behind the traditional structures, the north-eastern city known for its conservative values - where women have little social visibility, as in many other Anatolian cities - proved to be a productive setting. The re-enactments open up a humourous field of imagination, forcing the viewers to pass beyond what they have already been taught. Beekeeper offers us a cinematic feeling of a phantom moment in four photos: What do you imagine the beekeeper woman might have disappeared to while spreading her protective covers?
