Videoist 2003, Galeri Kargart, Istanbul

‘real time' is an installation with video-projection;
The classical Dutch flower-stillife of the 17th century, where the underlying concept was often ephemerality, was mostly anachronic; the flowers depicted would actually bloom at different dates from eachother throughout the year.
Maria Sezer's ‘Real time' video-installation is a contemporary stillife that consists of two parts. One of them is a video film, which depicts blooming flowers in an anachronic way. The other a book with dried flowers. We are confronted with a dualism on the concept of time is apparent. And one wonders which part of it is virtual and which part is real. Like the Dutch flower stillifes this work is a metaphor for the human condition.
