There was a room in our grandparents’ house that was called the cold attic. There, dust danced in a dim daylight and the walls and the floors were filled with objects accumulated over time. We used to explore this place with my little sister as the wonderworld of the past. We dug out old exotic treasures and put on our grandma’s old dresses to play. Today, in these abandoned houses that I enter, memories from the past emanate through the peeling layers of walls, bedraggled furniture, the dust on the floor, and the smell. I walk through rooms and I observe. The windows upstairs creak as the wind blows through their frames. A ray of light crosses one of the rooms. Downstairs everything remains dark. Such is the Silence examines physical and psychic relations of house, space and corporeality and it depicts a possible fictional world. In his book Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard studies image’s relation to individuals, space and memory. By examining poetic images Bachelard approaches the notion of space from various viewpoints. He claims that the poetic image is connected to one’s being and personal history and through that it is also related to the places one experiences during lifetime. When reading Poetics of Space, visual memories of my grandparents’ house start to merge with ones from the empty houses where I worked. I’m left to wonder Bachelard's words about one’s soul being a habitat and by reminiscing certain houses and rooms we learn to live within ourselves. While wandering in the houses I filled them with my own being and imagination which added to the life they were already filled with, the history of previous owners, memories and dreams. When working, I became a character that was born from the dynamics of taking images and the routine of repetition and performing. My works are documents from a fictional world by which I have captured the places and the conceivably lived lives and memories through the imaginary character I created.
