Sevim Sancaktar’s installation Inferno 00:00 consists of several layers of information that deal with individual and urban memories that are under constant bombardment with images. She focuses on the dynamics of normalization processes of as well as the connection between perception and memory. Sancaktar collects numerous sound and video recordings mainly from celebrations/explosions, as well as images from news, and connects them with a person who is following a screen saver animation without any reaction, creating a unique environment, dealing with the notion of memory and its constructed ‘hell’ within life. Borrowing the title Inferno from Dante’s Divine Comedy, she studies how the astonishing effect of conflicting images and information gets normalized, internalized and becomes part of the collective memory, throughout history.
