Pictorial Traces of Moving Images, 2022 This project is a study that investigates how the speed, fluid structure and dynamic nature of moving images that we watch on the television screen can be compressed into a single frame to create a visual effect. The images we see on television move in a continuous flow, beyond the speed that our eyes can perceive. This speed allows us to capture only momentary sections of the images; therefore, it offers the viewer a visual experience that is always flowing and never fully fixed. In this project, contrary to the nature of the images, we take them out of their momentary flow and fix them, allowing them to exhibit a new performance. When we make these fluid and transitional images static, we detach them from their context and create a brand new visual experience and meaning. These moments when movement freezes and speed turns into stillness make visible the details, color combinations and new narrative possibilities that are inherent in the images but are overlooked due to rapid transitions. These images squeezed into a single frame transform the chaotic structure within the continuous movement conveyed by television into an abstract narrative where colors and shapes are intertwined. In this process, the stabilization of the fluid nature of the images offers the viewer the opportunity to discover the potential meanings and invisible layers contained in the movement. Thus, the project aims to offer a new perspective on the speed, transience and overlooked details of television images; by reinterpreting moving images in a static form, it questions their boundaries and perceptual effects. In this way, we have explained more comprehensively the project's effort to transform the nature of television images and the new layers of meaning revealed in the process of staticization.
