What is it about?
Hi! I’m Çisil. I am an artist and as a part of Het Resort, Midseason 2024 program which supports emerging artists in their early career artistic development, I created this digital sharing space for the people in Bowlingcentrum Groningen.
In this project, I explore the personal connections between objects and people; the transformation of everyday items into carriers of emotions, personal and collective histories.
At what point does an object become a "thing"? Is it when it loses its functionality, or can it retain its essence even while serving its purpose? What happens when you give people a space to share?
By creating a digital memory space, I invited people to engage with objects from the bowling alley through interactive entrances. Here, they can explore shared memories and tell their own stories, I aim to uncover the hidden narratives that shape our interactions with the spaces we inhabit.
