İlker Ortaç / Work
140journos: Büyük E-Fanzin
140journos’s Büyük E-Fanzin feature about İlker Ortaç is available with its text and photographs on the original publication page.
From life to creative practice
Ortaç’s relationship with punk and underground culture also finds a place in independent publishing. His artist statement records that he founded DEV-FANZİN. The fanzine appears in his portfolio as a space where different texts and images meet and circulate.

From the studio: a creative reconstruction
A first-person creative reconstruction drawing on the biography and artworks.
I imagine a table with pages placed side by side: a face, a headline, an overflowing sentence. The parts do not have to speak in the same tone. I want their proximity to disturb each other, leaving some friction unpolished.
Working around 140journos: Büyük E-Fanzin, my attention returns to this detail: 140journos’s Büyük E-Fanzin feature about İlker Ortaç is available with its text and photographs on the original publication page. In the next passage, I imagine pulling back anything that weakens that encounter and leaving the areas holding its tension open for longer.
In the final passage, I imagine returning the work to its own context. I leave room for reading a page, looking at a frame or watching the film beyond the narrative assembled here.
