Monica Fritz

Out of Place

"Never indulging in the celebration of the “typical” qualities and features of a place, Monica Fritz prefers to wander out of place. In her gaze, the ordinary becomes mysterious, the exotic appears familiar, silences evoke harmony. A commonplace scene, one that could be anywhere, suddenly proclaims itself to belong to that instant where and when the photographer, through light and shade, has captured its essence..

A rhythmic succession of wonders: frame after frame, objects and humans cross paths by coincidence, to discover that they were made for each other. But this is a secret, or the impossible answer to the enigma that binds together Sicily and India, Sana’a and Istanbul, New York, Milan, or other fragments of space and time interrogated by the photographer’s soul."

Professor Paolo Girardelli, Bosphorus University, Art history

"Bulunduğu yerlerin “tipik” özelliklerini ve kendine has yönlerini yüceltmekten daima imtina ediyor Monica Fritz, bunu yapmaktansa alışılmış dışında yerlerde gezinmeyi yeğliyor. Onun bakışında sıradan şeyler gizemli hale geliyor, egzotik dünyalar tanıdık bir çehreye bürünüyor. Sessizlikler ise ahengi çağrıştırıyor. Herhangi bir yeri andırabilecek mekânlar, fotoğrafçının ışıkla ve gölgeyle özlerini yakaladığı anda ve ölçüde aidiyetlerini ilan ediyorlar.

Ritimli bir büyülenişler geçidi bu: her fotoğraf karesinde, yolları tesadüfen kesişen nesneler ve insanlar sanki birbirleri için yaratıldıklarını keşfediyorlar. Fakat bu bir sır, ya da Sicilya’yı ve Hindistan’ı, Sana ve İstanbul’u, New York’u, Milano’yu ve fotoğrafçının ruhuyla sorguladığı daha nice zaman ve mekân adasını birbirlerine bağlayan bir gizemin asla bulunamayacak cevabı".

Profesör Paolo Girardelli, Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, Sanat Tarihi

The Ancient Grounds of Ani

“The ruined city near the Armenian border is one of the few places in Turkey where the site is completely untouched, giving the visitor an experience an 18th-century traveller might have known. Fortifiied with walls and a citadel with a palace of the Bagratid kings, it was known as the “city of a thousand and one churches” when it was at its height under the Armenian king Gagik

I (990–1020). An earthquake brought it low in 1319.
In July 2016, Ani was added to the Unesco World Heritage List, as a “medieval city [which] combines residential, religious, and military structures, characteristic of a medieval urbanism built up over the centuries by Christian and then Muslim dynasties.”

“Now the monuments of Ani are again receiving the attention of archaeologists, architectural historians and conservator.”
