When discussing how images can recreate what we imagine, have photographers or artists ever had a moment when a single image opens the door to a "what if"?
What if I could preserve a decisive instant as a lasting memory? What if the image could propose a perfect scenario?
What if I could express something or someone through the act of photography itself? If an image has the power to create impact, then what kind of impact might it generate? Through photographic and image-based works, this exhibition explores these possibilities.

My “What If”: (Photography / Original Work 60x40 cm)
The “what-if” scenario can raise the following questions and simultaneously allow for the following interpretations:
A) What would happen if I turned on the tap and let the water run because I was thirsty, wanted to wash my hands or mop the floor, or simply because I had the foolish idea of flooding the floor and the room for no reason?
B) Would water even flow if I turned on the tap? Could the water supply be shut off for some reason, for example, due to a water shortage?
C) If I could stand there for more than 10 minutes, how often would I ask myself: Should I turn on the tap because I need water? Should I not turn it on because there's no reason to?
D) If I turned on the tap and did something, like drinking or washing my hands—which would take me at least a minute—what would happen afterward? How would my life unfold? If I don't open the crane and simply continue with my business, what will be the fate of my life?
