tyle

Necmi's work explores different aspects of "the real", blurring the margins between art, life and fantasy. [ [http://www.radikal.com.tr/haber.php?haberno=248212 Ozge Yilmaz, 'Hayat Kurgudan Daha Ilginc' "Radikal" 23rd February 2008] ] In recent projects, Necmi has chosen not to work with actors, but rather real people, drawing his aesthetic inspiration from the ambiguities and complexities of their daily life. [ [http://www.ismailnecmi.com/timeout.html November Paynter, 'The Image is Whose?' "Time Out Istanbul" May 2003] ] The resulting works are edgy and surreal, attempting to bring to the screen the varied fantasies which people weave through their everyday lives; life-becoming-art, art-becoming-life. [Katrien Jacobs, 'Turkey - Let's Make Porn, Not War' in "Libi_Doc: Journeys in the Performance of Sex Art" Maska Institute for Publishing; Ljubjana, Slovenia.2005. pp. 253-265] From his earliest work in black and white photography to his current work in film, Necmi's craft is characterised by its meticulous attention to visual composition.
