With my Great-uncle in the Attick / Büyük Amcam ile Çatıkatında

The exhibition was in an ancient armory in Den Bosch/Holland. The topfloor of the building was build of oakwood. The attick actually looked like a wood that had lost its small branches and its leaves. Often we forget which materials our buildings are made from and in this case Maria Sezer wanted to point out this by recreating the wood these trees had come from. With clay she finger-painted oakleaves and acorns on the wooden floor. The exhibition took place in the autumn and while she was working she heard acorns that dropped onto the roof, out of the oaktrees surrounding the armoury. The work is thus mixing up the passing of time and the cycle of life.

Visible result within 7 days / 7 Günde görünür Şonuç 

As a comment on consumer society and the constant pressure by means of advertisement directed at women in order to stay young and beautifull forever the work ‘Visible result guaranteed in 7 days’ was made by Sezer. The passing of time and the change of material over time was used as a subject by cutting orangeflowers out of the peel of oranges. Since the project went on for 2 years some of the cut-out peels started to disintegate and become earth again. Like that the cycle was almost closed!
