"Endless Landscapes" is an art project developed over four years, focusing on the Kızılırmak River and its surroundings. At its core, the project aims to narrate the rich story of the river and its environment by bringing together different media and materials such as photographs, found objects, videos, and sound recordings.

The project begins with an installation specific to the "Bilsart" exhibition venue. In the exhibition space, the main structure of the work is created by printing photographs on a transparent surface and merging them with water using pools made of plexiglass via projectors to create an environment where the water can be sensed sensorially. The exhibition space also includes collage works and video installations specially designed to emphasize the theme of the river and water.

The collage works present composite images that observe the river from different perspectives, creating new landscapes. Starting with a collage that combines mountain views across the river to form a new landscape, the collages introduce viewers to various perspectives, including an aerial view of the waterway and collages showing cross-sections of the area where the river is located. These collage works are created by manually cutting and combining photographs, offering viewers the opportunity to experience the changing landscapes around the river.

The video installation, on the other hand, shows the production process of the collage works to the audience. The process of experiments conducted in the workshop and the merging of photo prints with water are presented in a time-lapse technique, emphasizing a performative approach. This video provides viewers with a closer look at how the project took shape and how different materials were brought together, offering insight into the artist's creative process.

The third part of the exhibition features an interactive workspace similar to the set up in the workshop. Visitors have the chance to experience a laboratory where they can create their landscapes using various materials such as projectors, plexiglass pools, glass, sound recordings, and photo prints. This space offers a participatory experience, highlighting the uniqueness of what each individual sees and pays attention to, encouraging active participation from viewers in the artwork.

"Endless Landscapes" represents the next step in the long-term project "Along the river," aiming to delve deeper into the rich and complex story of the river and its surroundings by giving new meanings and perspectives to existing photographs, sound, and video recordings.
