This project is a series of analog photographic works created with medium-format film. By juxtaposing and reconstructing the subconscious experiences of the subjects with my own subconscious states, I seek to generate a visual field situated between reality and psychology. Photography here is no longer merely a tool of documentation, but a passage into inner mental structures.

Throughout the creative process, the subjects are not passive “objects” of the image, but active participants in its formation. Their emotions, memories, anxieties, desires, and unarticulated psychological states interact with my own perceptions, projections, and intuitions during the act of photographing. This layering of dual subconscious states results in images that are ambiguous, drifting, and unstable—positioned between private experience and collective sensibility.

The project focuses on the mental ideologies of individuals within urban and peri-urban spaces. In highly structured and rapidly operating urban environments, psychological states are often fragmented and compressed. Pathological conditions—such as disorder, anxiety, repression, and alienation—coexist with non-pathological states of self-repair, escape, imagination, and subtle tenderness. These conditions are not oppositional, but simultaneous and interpenetrating.

The inherent uncertainty, temporal delay, and physical traces of medium-format film constitute an essential component of the project. Grain, color shifts, soft focus, and chance intensify the psychological tension within the images, allowing them to more closely resemble the operations of the subconscious—nonlinear and nonrational, yet deeply connected to inner experience.

Through this body of work, I aim to present a psychological portrait within an urban context. Rather than offering a clear narrative or diagnosis, the project preserves ambiguity and openness, inviting viewers to resonate with their own subconscious and to reconsider the unstable boundary between the “pathological” and the “normal.”
