Artist Book and set of collages
In 1996, Age 15. Art Books were hard to find in my hometown back then. So I created my own art encyclopedia using cut-out images with art related pages stolen from Meydan-Larousse and Gelişim Hachette Alphabetical General Culture Encyclopedias.
I consider that as Non-existent Art Encyclopedia Volume 1.
Non-existent Art Encyclopedia Volume 2, is the contemporary version of this book representing a set of collages made with fragments of the artworks and artists collected from found magazines.
including;
Takashi Homma, Helen Levitt, Othman Moussa, Zanele Muholi, Abderrahim Sissako, Juliana Huxtable, Nikolas Hlobo, Takehisa Kosugi, Khaled Hourani, Cosima von Bonin, Daniel Garcia Andujar, Maha Maamoun, Manuel Felguerez, Haus-Rucker-Co, Ayse Erkmen, Jill Magid, Gigi Spelsberg, Divine, Ana Mendieta, Francis Alÿs, Banu Cennetoglu, Dominique Gonzales-Foerster, Alfredo Jaar, Cem A, Jill Magid, Mohamed Bourouissa, Sarkis, Stan Douglas, Simone Forti, Naeem Mohaiemen, Pope L, Aydan Murtezaoglu, André-Malraux, Oliver Ressler, Harun Farocki, On Kawara, Guy Bourdin, Furkan Temir, Agnieszka Polska, Sinéad O'Connor, Trevor Paglen, Tehching Hsieh, Joseph Kadow and many more.
