What if reality is less something we find than something we build?
A preview of Constructing Reality by @evergreendazed
Landscape, architecture, industry, cartography, and pictorial surface are brought into the same field, turning natural space into something assembled and unstable.
The work treats reality as a construction shaped by images, histories, systems, and myths. Each layer opens onto another, suggesting that what we call the real is built through repeated acts of framing and belief.
Placed within Digital Encounters, the work speaks directly to the programme’s central question:
In a world of infinite information and impulses, what carries enough meaning to become myth?
For Alkan Avcıoğlu, myth is one of the structures through which reality is made. In Constructing Reality, image-making becomes a model for how worlds are assembled until construction begins to feel like truth.
Alkan Avcıoğlu is an artist and filmmaker whose work has been exhibited at Christie’s, Paris Photo, Art Basel, Zona Maco, and Vogue Photo, with films selected for major international festivals including Warsaw Film Festival and Fantasporto.
