This technique has showed up during VCD 510 class. We were talking about a sketch problem for the cube project - apart from my graduation project- Ahmet Atıf Akın has suggested hdr for expressing the city area in different ways. I was supposed to shoot 6 different plans ; big city silhouttes with same horizons in three different exposures: -2 EV, 0 EV, 2EV

High dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques.
so here is the result:

I am not very glad with the results by the way, have to work on tone mapping.I may come up with something better. So; coming soon...

My research has gone through in architects , – work about perceiving the city space in different ways- photographers – named as Post Doc. Photographers in the history of city photography- projects about city and art both in conceptual and practical ways.

All these photographs in this exhibition are between reality and fiction. The urban space can appear as a science fiction area, a made model, a sculpture.Worlds of puzzle..

Chamb Limbre is a foundation which exploring the process of creation and presentation about the relationships between architecture, public space and new media since 1992.
“İnvisible City / Cite İnvisible “ is a project of Chamb Limbre Foundation.

It is explained that: The city of the XXIst Century continuously undergoes major transformations of aesthetic, of its social structure .. This constant evolution of the city fascinates us by means of the wealth of the potential landscapes it presents. These landscapes, for Champ Libre, are places of philosophical and artistic inspiration.
The İnvisible city project feeds from this “being an inspiration “ situation of the landscape. Architecture, urban spaces and their relationships between the citizens are being expressed by different mediums in Grande Bibliothèque of the Quebec national library and archives.

“Circus” is a video project about construction of space . The location is a busy square in Geneva . The video work shows a constantly moving wiev of the city that seems to be disintegrating.

The project explains the urban architecture’s effect to the city area; as a non-linear perception with scanning of distinctive points of reference and landmarks and striking details. In other words: "simulation city"

Naranjo assimilates the “city” to “our biological system”. He says: “Our biological fluids seem to always find a different path in the vascular labyrinth of our bodies, just as our human and robotic neighbors seem to create a city distinct from our own city with every passing day. “
He uses the road network to represent the vascular system of our body.. Our body liquids flows from our vascular system; the cars, people and every element of the city flows from its networks..At this process nothing stays the same, every time this circle happens, it takes something from its own structure.

INSOMNIAC CITY is a mutation of the experimental movie and black thriller, combining the digital interventions on documentary images. The location is Tel Aviv. The main character and the city suffer from a labyrinthic insomnia, from the shiny new towers to the poorest neignborhoods, from air to sea.
The city area is transplanted through both physical and mental scapes, between reality and dream, documentary and fiction , combined with a story about a man and the city itself. The chaos of urban texture, and frames from the man’ s insomnia..
