PHOTOGRAPH AND MEMORY: SHIMON ATTIE, MARCELO BRODSKY

Summary/Abstract: Photography has been seen as the tool to release the facts, as well and it has witnessed the war and the sorrow for long years. This witnessing has gained the interest of the artist to the photography and thus memory bridges have been constructed due to photographs. One of these artists is Shimon Attie. Shimon Attie, especially known for his works named signs of the fact, focuses on the relationship of space, memory and identity. In his project named 'the Writing on the Wall', the artist had collected the memorial photographs of the Jewish people who lived in Berlin and he reflected these photographs on the walls of the apartments in Berlin, thus the artist keeps the memories fresh by including pieces of past on today's spaces. Another artist, who wants to open the door of the past by photography, Marcelo Brodsky searches the competency of the photography in conctructing bridge between the collective historical narration and personal memory in his works. In this research, Shimon Attie and Marcelo Brodsky's works for releasing the stories beyond the photgraphs and recommenting the photographs project, take place. Thus the photograph and memory relationship has been tried to be researched on the works of the artists.
