LandsNude<\/em> was a group exhibition presented at Artcore Gallery in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2015. It brought together photographers who had developed through workshops with the curator, working with him on the relationship between the body and the natural environment. It was the first time their work was shown together in a gallery context, and the first time it was shown outside Turkey.<\/p>\n\n

The exhibition started from one idea: a nude body photographed within a landscape, rather than inside a studio, ceases to be a subject isolated from context. It becomes continuous with the material world around it: rock, water, vegetation, wind. The photographs were made without studio lighting, without staged compositions, and without post-production manipulation. What the camera recorded was what was present: a body, a place, and the light between them.<\/p>\n\n

Every image in the exhibition was in black and white, as a strategy more than a stylistic preference. Removing colour removes the chromatic register that can sentimentalise landscape photography. Without colour, the body becomes topography and the topography becomes anatomy. The exhibition asked whether the nude in landscape can avoid the pastoral tradition that has shaped centuries of European art, and it answered through this tonal discipline.<\/p>\n\n

LandsNude<\/em> was the curator's first formal curatorial project, and it placed his own photographs alongside those of the participating photographers. In Nudes of Istanbul<\/em><\/a> (Die Akt Galerie, Berlin, and Uxval Gochez Gallery, Barcelona, 2026), he serves as sole curator and has no photographs in the exhibition: a clearer separation of curatorial and artistic roles, developed across a decade of practice.<\/p>\n\n

The thematic ground of LandsNude<\/em> continues in the ongoing series Ecotone<\/em><\/a>, which extends the investigation of the body as a transitional zone between human and non-human environments.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
