Alienation/estrangement is a problematic of humanity that emerged and crystallised in the 20th century and beyond. With the development of science and analytical thinking, a number of conventional values and belief systems have been on the verge of disappearing, resulting in a process of rupture, disintegration and fragmentation of things that have maintained their harmonious coexistence until then.
Beliefs and values, in this ever-changing world order, have inevitably caused human beings to enter a process of alienation/alienation in the intellectual dimension. In this world order, which is faced with constant change, any kind of stagnation will remain outside the system.
While examining the works in this selection, the viewer finds himself in a riddle of knowledge that leads him into a process of alienation/alienation. Each artist invites the viewer to his/her own process of alienation through the use of different materials and his/her unique suggestions.
