Tumult by Yusuf Sevinçli

The work consists of two simultaneous narratives. In "Tumult," a polyphonic narrative is presented, where external and internal flows run parallel; as they circulate, they draw closer and then move apart.

Calm and rational landscape representations engage in dialogue with more intense and personal landscapes; sometimes these transform into windows opening to the interior and at other times to the exterior. This book distinguishes itself from previous works by its unique interplay of dual narratives and its exploration of the dynamic relationship between the internal and external worlds.

Yusuf Sevinçli, known for his existential wanderings and a penchant for stark contrasts, is one of those alchemist artists. He does not linger; he walks, explores, observes, shoots, and then moves on. He collects almost obsessively scraps of reality that are always different but can ultimately find an analogy and become a series of images. It’s a picaresque concept of photography, almost homeless, which rejects the stability and serenity of a home, albeit virtual, embracing instead the road and the people, animals (from dogs to insects), and objects that live in it and make it alive.

Subjects become patches that eventually assemble together to reveal a texture, which is the representation of reality through the artist’s eye. His emotionality strays from the beaten path, taking to the streets and returning its true essence to us.
