Scientific photographs are usually formed by the use of exaggerated colors and dramatic lighting, and this is how science photographs become powerful visualization tools in social discussions. In this series, which I started in 2005, I developed these photographs where I applied laboratory photography aesthetics to simulate scientific findings and mobilize perceptions such as mystery, research, curiosity and testimony.
I showed the first photographs from this series in an exhibition at the Schleswig S Foto Forum in Germany.
Within the scope of the corona epidemic, the exaggerated color and dramatic light used in the Covid-19 photographs shown in the media have a task in social comprehension: to visualize a threat that is invisible. Taking this as my cue, I continued to work on some of the photographs from this series that gained newfound currency.
