Observer note, 2017

 

I experienced a psychological trauma from the threat of an unknown man knocking my door suddenly at the dawn. After that, I noticed a scribble next to the doorbell, and to my surprise later I found all other doors in the building had the same kind of scribbles.

I could figure out the observer's minute daring eyes who had made a small scribble next to a doorbell by reckoning the fact that something in a close distance can't be noticed easily. From that I also assumed its content and his intention. The changes in my psychology about the 'anxiety' have led me to feel anxious about my space which was once safest. For sure, someone had observed and he/she wrote its record next to doorbells. This ambiguous behavior colors daily lives with sense of anxiety.

 

When the scribbles were noticed, they were close to drawings rather than scribbles and a strange formativeness was coming out from them. Being similar to a signature, they came into my mind as an ambiguous form neither as a letter nor as a symbol. Collecting the scribbles on the wall through cameras removed the information about the place and shaping the scribbles made me focus on the encrypted symbols. Once the works completed going through various processes are put on the wall of a gallery (a white box) which has deep gap from our daily life, the connecting point of a relationship between the observer and residents has been removed.
