In A Geography of Dreams, Irmak Ozarslan explores landscapes through film and digital photography, moving between the tangible and the imagined. Her images reveal places that seem both recognisable and estranged. Through tonal contrasts and shifting textures, the photographs evoke atmosphere rather than simply describe a location. A forest may suggest a threshold; a desert, an expanse outside human time; a volcanic landscape, a world caught between destruction and creation.
Shaped by processes of transformation, the landscapes reveal the earth as constantly becoming. Rather than illustrating specific myths, Ozarslan approaches landscape as a site of myth-making, inviting encounters with what cannot be fully explained or named, where familiarity intertwines with estrangement.
