All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s, mortality, vulnerability, changeability.
There is a mirror used by Mr Koper while he was applying brilliantine to his hairs when he was young hung over his folding table and straight ahead of the chair he sits. He put a photo in a corner of mirror that he can see at every glance, a photo of Süheyla. Miss Süheyla is a pale young woman who is about 20 years old and classic-faced. Her death left a traumatic mark in the life of her lover, Mr. Koper. Süheyla is existed with her absence rather than her existence. She fills spaces with her memories. Her last photo before she dies is alway under the eyes of Mr. Koper. The sounds of chink and wind identified with her accompany Mr. Koper all the time. Miss Süheyla who is the first lover of Mr. Koper makes ceaselessly eyes with a bashful smile at Mr. Koper from the black and white photo with a flower on her hand and her head is slightly slant.
