Black Grape Molasses, 2017, Two Channels Video, Datas From Laboratory Process, Handmade Molasses Jars

* Graduation Project from Bachelor’s Degree

After the artist's grandmother passed away, she included her favorite fruit, black grapes, which she identified with, in her research process with artistic and scientific methods. In this process, she turned them into molasses, which her grandmother loved and described as 'makes blood' and 'prolongs life'. In the two-channel video installation, viewers watch the artist's process of preparing the molasses in the kitchen and the analysis of the molasses in the laboratory. By watching the process in the videos, following the outputs of the process from the data on the table and eating the molasses made by the artist, the viewers have the opportunity to experience the artist's relationship with her grandmother both emotionally and mentally and become a part of this process. The artist invites the viewer to rethink concepts such as death, life, existence, absence, impermanence.
