Born in 1994, Doruk Kumkumoğlu is a visual artist and lecturer living and working in Istanbul. He works with printed and physical mediums, mainly revolving around concepts of perception, illusory representations, and the viewer - image relationship. Recently, his work is focused more on exploring the photographic image and its relationship to a variety of different mediums, in turn creating alternative approaches to photography in the context of its function and conceptual possibilities.

		<description>Get Ready to be Disappointed&#38;nbsp;


						Disappointment is usually seen as something small, personal, or something you just have to get over quietly. But I think it can reveal a lot. It shows what we care about, what we wanted, and what we were still hoping to hold on to.
In this project, I look at disappointment not only as failure, but as a moment when things become more clear. The series moves between important life events and small everyday letdowns through symbolic images and abstract fragments. Some photographs point to moments that feel specific or decisive, while others are harder to place. They stay unresolved or difficult to explain.
Together, the images create a sense of uncertainty and unpredictability. I am not trying to build a clear story. Instead, I am interested in the emotional space that opens up when something does not happen the way we expected. The project asks the viewer to stay with that feeling, without trying to resolve it too quickly.
At a time when images are seen and forgotten very fast, and emotions are often made simple, Get Ready to Be Disappointed stays with a quieter kind of rupture. It is about the hidden experiences that shape us from the inside. Disappointment becomes something shared, something that unsettles us, reveals us, and does not fully disappear into the background.

		<description>No Entry Allowed


No Entry Allowed is a photography based collage work that approaches urban details as elements that can be taken apart and reassembled. Each image is constructed from one or more photographs taken mainly in Istanbul, as well as in other Turkish cities. Shot with an ultra telephoto lens, the original images isolate small details such as surfaces, structures and moments that are insignificant and often escape attention.

In the second stage, these fragments are reassembled into new configurations. Fictional moments emerge through unexpected combinations, layering, and repetition. These compositions offer a personal reading of ongoing processes of decay, rebuilding, and transformation within the urban environment.

						The feeling of disappointment, diverse in its forms and intensities, can act as a revealing force, exposing what we value, desire and hope to preserve.

Through this project I explore and interpret disappointments. Some images in the series document significant life events; others capture fleeting, everyday disappointments. The series is interwoven with symbolic and abstract images, creating a visual language of unpredictability and ambiguity - states that underlie the feeling of disappointment. Together, these images reflect on the shared but often hidden experiences that define the deeper self.
