BERIKI MECRA / CHANNEL YONDER

(Genis Aci Photography Magazine 2002-2007)

What is Channel Yonder?

Begun in 2002, Channel Yonder is a platform for (mainly Turkish) contemporary artists who work (also) with photographs. Photography used within the context of contemporary arts is not interested in the esthetic concerns that classical photography imposes since it puts more emphasis on conceptual contents. Thus, it transforms the photography itself. What I am trying to do with Beriki Mecra (Channel Yonder), is to introduce artists who use photography as a medium of expression without considering themselves photographers, to the readers of Genis Aci . In a sense, emphasizing that contemporary art is not the “Other” but the “Yonder”; at the same time keeping in mind to what extent photography can be used.
