"Buraları çöl değil, Yalancı Nesneler Beldesi'dir. Hiçbir nesne gösterdiğini doğru olarak göstermediği gibi kendini olduğu gibi tanıtmaz. Gül dikensiz olduğuna inandıracak denli katmerli açarken arı soktuğunda acıtmayacağına inandırabilmek için vızıltısız uçar... Buralarda yaşayabilmek için yalandan doğruya çıkarmayı öğrenmek gererik ki bu da yalancılığı iyi öğrenmekle olur."

Faruk Ulay'dan, 33 beldelede nesnelerin ve uzamların şiirsel varoluşunu, hüzün ve ironinin imbiliğinden geçirerek damıtan, kişisel varoluşun koşullarını da tek kişilik bir diyalog içinde sorgulayan, ince işlemeli metinler.

About the author

Faruk Ulay

24 books4 followers
Faruk Ulay was born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1957. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from The State Academy of Fine Arts, he completed his Master of Arts degree in Visual Communications in Goldsmiths' College in London, England. In 1982, he moved to the United States and established a design studio in Pasadena, California, where he focuses on authoring purely text-based, literary works as well as engaging text and visuals to create interdisciplinary, multi-layered projects.

In his work that embraces both verbal and visual elements, Faruk Ulay uses photography as his medium of choice to stimulate an ongoing dialogue between oppositions, a shifting landscape which put dichotomies into play: identity and difference, presence and absence, concrete and abstract, the past lingering in the present, among others. Urban landscapes, barren lands, and found objects are frequently featured in his photographs. Text accompanying these images live independently in the borrowed collective space and point to what is not accentuated in the photographs. It is hoped that viewers themselves can undertake the task of seeing the mutating world through the juxtaposition of images and rebuild it from their own perspective.

In addition to his work that incorporates both the visual and the textual, Faruk Ulay has written eight volumes of short stories, two novels, and one non-fiction work–a design manifesto. His literary fiction appear regularly in literary and cultural journals in Turkey, in the United States, and in Canada.

Görünmez Kentler'i veya Einstein'in Düşleri'ni seven bunu da sever. Müthiş çöl fotoğraflarıyla hikayeyi ören metin yapısı yer, zaman, insan ilişkisindeki geçişlere ve atmosfere yerleşmemi sağladı. En sevdiğim beldeyse "Davranışları Gerekçelendirmenin Gereksizliğine İnandıran Nesneler Beldesi"ydi.

Son olarak "Bilgiye aç olmak ölmeyi geciktirmiyor."
