Sabancı University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (SSBF) Faculty Member Murat Germen’s solo exhibition Serap | Mirage opened at Maçka Art Gallery on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 17:00.
The exhibition entitled “Serap|Mirage” navigates the interplay between clarity and uncertainty and focuses on the temporary tension between the recognizable and the unrecognizable; in other words, what you see may not be what you find. Perception changes as you approach the image. Mirage appears in perception, meaning dissolves in uncertainty.
The exhibition is accompanied by a sonic installation consisting of cyclical and repetitive sound layers representing the order and chaos of the city, recorded from meditation instruments called “Aks-i Serap (mirage reflection)” designed by Selin Arslan.
