00:25
I was asked to come here and speak about creation.
0
0
3000
Buraya gelip yaratmakla ilgili konusmam istendi.
00:28
And I only have 15 minutes, and I see they're counting already.
1
3000
4000
Ve sadece 15 dakikam var ve goruyorum ki sureyi baslattilar bile.
00:32
And I can -- in 15 minutes, I think I can touch only a very rather janitorial branch of creation,
2
7000
7000
Ve sanirim 15 dakikada sadece yaratmanin bir kolu olan
00:39
which I call "creativity."
3
14000
3000
ve benim yaraticilik dedigim konuya deginebilirim.
00:42
Creativity is how we cope with creation.
4
17000
4000
Yaraticilik yaratmakla bir basa cikis seklidir.
00:46
While creation sometimes seems a bit un-graspable, or even pointless,
5
21000
6000
Yaratmak bazen kavramasi guc ya da anlamsiz olsa da
00:52
creativity is always meaningful.
6
27000
3000
yaraticilik her zaman anlamlidir.
00:55
See, for instance, in this picture.
7
30000
1000
Mesela bu resme bakin.
00:56
You know, creation is what put that dog in that picture,
8
31000
4000
Kopegi bu resime yerlestiren yaratmaktir,
01:00
and creativity is what makes us see a chicken on his hindquarters.
9
35000
5000
kopegin arka bacaginda bir tavuk gormemizi saglayan yaraticiliktir.
01:05
When you think about -- you know, creativity has a lot to do with causality too.
10
40000
6000
Dusunecek olursaniz--aslinda, yaraticilik ve nedensellik birbiriyle baglantilidir.
01:11
You know, when I was a teenager, I was a creator.
11
46000
3000
Bakin, delikanliyken birseyler yaratirdim.
01:14
I just did things.
12
49000
2000
Oylesine birseyler yaratirdim.
01:17
Then I became an adult and started knowing who I was,
13
52000
2000
Sonra yetiskin oldum ve kendi benligimi tanimaya basladim
01:19
and tried to maintain that persona -- I became creative.
14
54000
3000
ve o kisiligi korumaya calistim -- ve yaratici oldum.
01:23
It wasn't until I actually did a book and a retrospective exhibition, that I could track exactly --
15
58000
8000
Bir kitap yazip, geriye donuk sergimi acana kadar degil--geriye bakinca--
01:31
looks like all the craziest things that I had done, all my drinking, all my parties --
16
66000
4000
Yaptigim butun cilginliklar, icki icmem, partiler ---
01:35
they followed a straight line that brings me to the point
17
70000
2000
hepsi duz bir cizgi halinde beni bu noktaya
01:37
that actually I'm talking to you at this moment.
18
72000
2000
burada karsinizda konustugum su ana getiren seyler.
01:39
Though it's actually true, you know,
19
74000
4000
Aslinda bu dogru, su anda
01:43
the reason I'm talking to you right now is because I was born in Brazil.
20
78000
3000
sizlerle konusuyor olmam Brezilya'da dogmus olmamdandir.
01:46
If I was born in Monterey, probably would be in Brazil.
21
81000
4000
Eger Monterey'de dogsaydim belki simdi Brezilya'da olurdum.
01:52
You know, I was born in Brazil and grew up in the '70s
22
87000
2000
Iste boyle, Brezilya'da dogdum ve 70'lerde politik
01:54
under a climate of political distress,
23
89000
3000
acidan sikintili bir ortamda buyudum ve
01:58
and I was forced to learn to communicate in a very specific way --
24
93000
3000
bir tur semiyotik karaborsada
02:01
in a sort of a semiotic black market.
25
96000
2000
cok ozel bir sekilde iletisim kurmayi ogrendim.
02:03
You couldn't really say what you wanted to say;
26
98000
3000
Gercekte soylemek istediginizi telaffuz edemediginiz icin
02:06
you had to invent ways of doing it.
27
101000
2000
farkli yontemler bulmaniz gerekiyordu.
02:08
You didn't trust information very much.
28
103000
2000
Etrafinizdaki bilgiye fazla guvenemiyordunuz.
02:10
That led me to another step of why I'm here today,
29
105000
3000
Bu da benim burada olmamda etkili bir baska nokta,
02:13
is because I really liked media of all kinds.
30
108000
3000
medyanin her turunu gercekten seviyor olmam.
02:16
I was a media junkie, and eventually got involved with advertising.
31
111000
4000
Bir medya cilginiydim ve zamanla reklamciliga girdim.
02:20
My first job in Brazil
32
115000
2000
Brezilya'daki ilk isim
02:22
was actually to develop a way to improve the readability of billboards,
33
117000
5000
billboard'larin okunabilirligini artirmanin yollarini bulmakti,
02:27
and based on speed, angle of approach and actually blocks of text.
34
122000
4000
bunu hiz, aci ve yazinin seklini goz onune alarak yapmak.
02:31
It was very -- actually, it was a very good study,
35
126000
3000
Bu aslinda gercekten cok onemli bir konuydu,
02:34
and got me a job in an ad agency.
36
129000
2000
ve bir reklam ajansinda is bulmama yaradi.
02:36
And they also decided that I had to --
37
131000
3000
Ve bu is icin bana cok cirkin
02:39
to give me a very ugly Plexiglas trophy for it.
38
134000
3000
pleksiglastan yapilmis bir odul vermeye karar verdiler.
02:44
And another point -- why I'm here --
39
139000
2000
Burada olma sebeplerimden bir baska nokta da
02:46
is that the day I went to pick up the Plexiglas trophy,
40
141000
4000
iste bu; odulu almaya gittigim gun,
02:50
I rented a tuxedo for the first time in my life,
41
145000
2000
omrumde ilk defa bir smokin kiraladim,
02:53
picked the thing -- didn't have any friends.
42
148000
2000
odulu aldim -- hic bir arkadasim yoktu.
02:55
On my way out, I had to break a fight apart.
43
150000
3000
Cikista bir kavgayi ayirmak zorunda kaldim.
02:58
Somebody was hitting somebody else with brass knuckles.
44
153000
3000
Birisi baska birisini mustayla dovuyordu
03:01
They were in tuxedos, and fighting. It was very ugly.
45
156000
2000
Onlar da smokinliydi ve dovusuyorlardi. Cok cirkindi.
03:03
And also -- advertising people do that all the time -- (Laughter) --
46
158000
6000
Bu arada, reklamcilar bunu hep yaparlar --(gulusmeler) --
03:09
and I -- well, what happened is when I went back, it was on the way back to my car,
47
164000
5000
ve -- sonra ben uzaklasip arabama giderken soyle oldu;
03:14
the guy who got hit decided to grab a gun --
48
169000
2000
dayak yiyen adam tabanca cekmeye karar verdi --
03:16
I don't know why he had a gun --
49
171000
2000
niye tabanca tasiyordu bilmiyorum --
03:18
and shoot the first person he decided to be his aggressor.
50
173000
2000
ve dusmani olduguna karar verdigi ilk kisiye ates etti.
03:20
The first person was wearing a black tie, a tuxedo. It was me.
51
175000
5000
Bu ilk kisi smokinli ve siyah kravatliydi. Bu kisi bendim.
03:26
Luckily, it wasn't fatal, as you can all see.
52
181000
3000
Cok sukur, oldurucu degildi, sizin de gordugunuz gibi.
03:29
And, even more luckily, the guy said that he was sorry
53
184000
5000
Ve sansima, adam ozur diledi
03:34
and I bribed him for compensation money, otherwise I press charges.
54
189000
4000
ve ben adamdan dava acma tehdidiyle tazminat parasi aldim.
03:38
And that's how -- with this money I paid for a ticket to come to the United States in 1983,
55
193000
6000
Iste bu sekilde -- bu parayla 1983 senesinde Amerika'ya gelmek icin biletimi aldim,
03:44
and that's very -- the basic reason I'm talking to you here today:
56
199000
4000
ve burada sizlerin karsisinda konusuyor olmamin ana nedeni bu.
03:48
because I got shot. (Laughter) (Applause)
57
203000
3000
Cunku vurulmustum. (Gulusmeler) (Alkis)
03:51
Well, when I started working with my own work, I decided that I shouldn't do images.
58
206000
8000
Kendi calismalarima basladigimda imgeler uzerinde calismamaya karar verdim.
03:59
You know, I became -- I took this very iconoclastic approach.
59
214000
3000
Geleneksel olmayan bir yaklasim benimsemistim.
04:03
Because when I decided to go into advertising, I wanted to do --
60
218000
3000
Cunku reklamciliga girerken istedigim --
04:06
I wanted to airbrush naked people on ice, for whiskey commercials,
61
221000
6000
viski reklamlari icin buz uzerinde ciplak insanlari boyamakti,
04:12
that's what I really wanted to do. (Laughter)
62
227000
1000
gercekte yapmak istedigim buydu.
04:13
But I -- they didn't let me do it, so I just -- you know,
63
228000
3000
Ama -- bunu yapmama izin vermediler -- iste,
04:16
they would only let me do other things.
64
231000
2000
baska seyler yapmama izin verdiler.
04:18
But I wasn't into selling whiskey; I was into selling ice.
65
233000
4000
Ama viski satmak bana gore degildi, ben buz satmak istiyordum.
04:22
The first works were actually objects.
66
237000
2000
Ilk calismalar aslinda objelerdi.
04:24
It was kind of a mixture of found object, product design and advertising.
67
239000
5000
Buluntu objeler, dizayn ve reklamciligin bir tur karisimiydi.
04:29
And I called them relics.
68
244000
2000
Ve ben bunlari kalintilar diye adlandirdim.
04:31
They were displayed first at Stux Gallery in 1983.
69
246000
3000
Ilk olarak 1983'te Galeri Stux'ta sergilendiler.
04:35
This is the clown skull.
70
250000
2000
Bu palyaco kafatasi.
04:37
Is a remnant of a race of -- a very evolved race of entertainers.
71
252000
3000
Cok gelismis eglendirici irka ait bir kalinti.
04:40
They lived in Brazil, long time ago. (Laughter)
72
255000
4000
Uzun yillar once Brezilya'da yasamislar. (Gulusmeler)
04:44
This is the Ashanti joystick.
73
259000
2000
Bu bir Ashanti oyuncubugu.
04:46
Unfortunately, it has become obsolete because it was designed for Atari platform.
74
261000
5000
Maalesef kullanimdan kalkti cunku Atariler icin tasarlanmisti.
04:51
A Playstation II is in the works, maybe for the next TED I'll bring it.
75
266000
5000
Playstation II uzerine calisiyorum, belki bir sonraki TED'e getiririm.
04:56
The rocking podium. (Laughter)
76
271000
2000
Sallanan podyum.
05:01
This is the pre-Columbian coffeemaker. (Laughter)
77
276000
2000
Kolombiya oncesi kahve makinesi.
05:06
Actually, the idea came out of an argument that I had at Starbucks,
78
281000
4000
Aslinda, bu fikir Starbuck's'ta bir tartisma sirasinda dogdu,
05:10
that I insisted that I wasn't having Colombian coffee;
79
285000
2000
ictigimin Kolombiya kahvesi olmadiginda israr ediyordum,
05:12
the coffee was actually pre-Columbian.
80
287000
2000
aslinda Kolombiya oncesi bir kahveydi.
05:14
The Bonsai table.
81
289000
3000
Bonsai masasi.
05:20
The entire Encyclopedia Britannica bound in a single volume, for travel purposes.
82
295000
6000
Seyahat icin bir cilde indirilmis Britanika Ansiklopedisi serisi.
05:30
And the half tombstone, for people who are not dead yet.
83
305000
6000
Henuz olmemis insanlar icin yarim mezar tasi.
05:36
I wanted to take that into the realm of images,
84
311000
3000
Imajlar dunyasina girip kimlik catismasi icinde
05:39
and I decided to make things that had the same identity conflicts.
85
314000
5000
olan konularda uretmek istedim.
05:44
So I decided to do work with clouds.
86
319000
2000
Bulutlar uzerinde calismaya karar verdim.
05:46
Because clouds can mean anything you want.
87
321000
2000
Cunku bulutlar istedigin her anlama gelebilirler.
05:49
But now I wanted to work in a very low-tech way,
88
324000
3000
Ama bu sefer dusuk teknoloji ile calismaya karar verdim,
05:52
so something that would mean at the same time
89
327000
3000
burada bir sey ayni anda bir pamuk yigini
05:55
a lump of cotton, a cloud and Durer's praying hands --
90
330000
4000
bir bulut veya Durer'in dua eden elleri olabilir --
05:59
although this looks a lot more like Mickey Mouse's praying hands.
91
334000
4000
ama bu daha cok Mickey Mouse'un dua eden ellerine benziyor.
06:03
But I was still, you know -- this is a kitty cloud.
92
338000
4000
Ama bence -- bu bir kedicik bulut.
06:07
They're called "Equivalents," after Alfred Stieglitz's work.
93
342000
5000
Bunlara Alfred Stieglitz'in calismalarindan esinlenerek Equivalent dedim.
06:12
"The Snail."
94
347000
1000
"Salyangoz".
06:13
But I was still working with sculpture,
95
348000
2000
Ama hala heykeller uzerine calisiyordum,
06:15
and I was really trying to go flatter and flatter.
96
350000
2000
ve giderek daha basik boyutlu calismalar yapiyordum.
06:18
"The Teapot."
97
353000
1000
"Caydanlik."
06:20
I had a chance to go to Florence, in -- I think it was '94,
98
355000
3000
Sanirim 1994 senesiydi -- Florensa'ya gitme imkani buldum,
06:23
and I saw Ghiberti's "Door of Paradise."
99
358000
4000
ve Ghiberti'nin "Cennet Kapisi"ni gordum.
06:27
And he did something that was very tricky.
100
362000
3000
Cok ustalik gerektiren bir sey yapmisti.
06:30
He put together two different media from different periods of time.
101
365000
3000
Iki ayri doneme ait iki farkli medyayi bir arada kullanmisti.
06:33
First, he got an age-old way of making it, which was relief,
102
368000
5000
Birincisi, eski yontem kullanmisti ki bu rahatlaticiydi,
06:38
and he worked this with three-point perspective, which was brand-new technology at the time.
103
373000
5000
ve uc-boyutlu perspektif calismisti ki bu da o zaman icin yepyeni bir teknolojiydi.
06:43
And it's totally overkill.
104
378000
2000
Tamamen asiriya kacmaydi.
06:46
And your eye doesn't know which level to read.
105
381000
2000
Gozleriniz hangi duzleme bakacagini bilemiyordu.
06:48
And you become trapped into this kind of representation.
106
383000
3000
Ve bu tur bir sunumum icinde hapsoluyordunuz.
06:51
So I decided to make these very simple renderings,
107
386000
4000
Bunun uzerine ilk bakista basit cizgiler olarak gorulen
06:55
that at first they are taken as a line drawing --
108
390000
3000
su cok basit parcalari yaptim.
06:58
you know, something that's very -- and then I did it with wire.
109
393000
4000
Yani son derece --sonra bunlari tellerle yaptim.
07:02
The idea was to -- because everybody overlooks white -- like pencil drawings, you know?
110
397000
6000
Fikir suydu -- kara kalem cizimlerinde kimse ilk bakista beyazi dikkate almaz.
07:08
And they would look at it -- "Ah, it's a pencil drawing."
111
403000
2000
Yani soyle bir bakarlar -- iste kara kalem bir cizim.
07:10
Then you have this double take and see that it's actually something that existed in time.
112
405000
4000
Sonra daha dikkatli bakinca zaman icinde var olan bir sey farkedilir.
07:14
It had a physicality,
113
409000
2000
Boyle fiziksel yani olan birsey,
07:16
and you start going deeper and deeper into sort of narrative
114
411000
4000
ve sonra daha derine inince imgeye
07:20
that goes this way, towards the image. So this is "Monkey with Leica."
115
415000
5000
yonelik bir oyku ortaya cikiyor. Iste bu "Leica ve Maymun".
07:28
"Relaxation."
116
423000
2000
"Gevseme"
07:30
"Fiat Lux."
117
425000
4000
"Fiat Lux."
07:34
And the same way the history of representation
118
429000
3000
Temsil etme surecinde cizgileri
07:37
evolved from line drawings to shaded drawings.
119
432000
3000
taramali cizimler izledi.
07:40
And I wanted to deal with other subjects.
120
435000
2000
Ve baska tur konularda calismak istedim.
07:42
I started taking that into the realm of landscape,
121
437000
3000
Manzaralar dunyasina yoneldim ki
07:45
which is something that's almost a picture of nothing.
122
440000
4000
bu neredeyse hicligin resmi gibi birseydi.
07:49
I made these pictures called "Pictures of Thread,"
123
444000
2000
Ipliklerin Resmi dedigim bu resimleri yaptim,
07:51
and I named them after the amount of yards that I used to represent each picture.
124
446000
4000
ve bunlara isim olarak yapiminda kullandigim ip miktarini verdim.
07:55
These always end up being a photograph at the end,
125
450000
2000
Bunlar her zaman bir fotograf olarak sonlanan calismalardi
07:57
or more like an etching in this case.
126
452000
2000
ya da burada oldugu gibi bir gravur.
07:59
So this is a lighthouse.
127
454000
3000
Bu bir fener.
08:06
This is "6,500 Yards," after Corot. "9,000 Yards," after Gerhard Richter.
128
461000
7000
Bu Corot'dan esinlenen "6.500 Yarda". "9.000 Yarda" Gerhard Richter'den.
08:13
And I don't know how many yards, after John Constable.
129
468000
4000
Ne kadar yarda oldugunu bilmiyorum John Constable'dan.
08:19
Departing from the lines, I decided to tackle the idea of points,
130
474000
3000
Bu cizgiden ayrilarak, noktalar fikrine yoneldim,
08:22
like which is more similar to the type of representation that we find in photographs themselves.
131
477000
5000
bu fotografciligi temsil eden fikre benzeyen bir kavramdi.
08:27
I had met a group of children in the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts,
132
482000
4000
Karayipler'de Saint Kitts adasinda bir grup cocukla karsilastim
08:31
and I did work and play with them.
133
486000
4000
ve onlarla hem oynadim hem calistim.
08:35
I got some photographs from them.
134
490000
2000
Cocuklarin fotograflarini cektim.
08:37
Upon my arrival in New York, I decided --
135
492000
2000
New York'a donunce, karar verdim --
08:39
they were children of sugar plantation workers.
136
494000
4000
bunlar seker iscilerinin cocuklariydi.
08:43
And by manipulating sugar over a black paper, I made portraits of them.
137
498000
5000
Siyah kagit uzerine toz sekerle bu cocuklari portrelerini yaptim.
08:48
These are -- (Applause) --
138
503000
4000
Bunlar -- (Alkis) --
08:52
Thank you. This is "Valentina, the Fastest."
139
507000
4000
Tesekkurler. Bu "Valentina, En Hizli".
08:56
It was just the name of the child,
140
511000
2000
Cocugun adi ve az tanidigin birine
08:58
with the little thing you get to know of somebody that you meet very briefly.
141
513000
4000
ait kucuk bir ifade.
09:02
"Valicia."
142
517000
3000
"Valicia".
09:06
"Jacynthe."
143
521000
2000
"Jacynthe".
09:10
But another layer of representation was still introduced.
144
525000
2000
Burada baska bir temsil katmani ortaya cikti.
09:12
Because I was doing this while I was making these pictures,
145
527000
3000
Bu resimleri yaparken
09:15
I realized that I could add still another thing
146
530000
3000
dusundum ki baska bir sey daha ekleyebilirim.
09:18
I was trying to make a subject --
147
533000
2000
Bir konuda temalari
09:20
something that would interfere with the themes,
148
535000
5000
etkileyecegini dusundugum
09:25
so chocolate is very good, because it has --
149
540000
4000
cikolatayi cok uygun gordum cunku
09:29
it brings to mind ideas that go from scatology to romance.
150
544000
5000
akla diskidan romantizme farkli seyler getiriyordu.
09:34
And so I decided to make these pictures,
151
549000
3000
Ve bu resimleri yapmaya karar verdim,
09:37
and they were very large, so you had to walk away from it to be able to see them.
152
552000
3000
cok buyuk olduklari icin gorebilmek icin resimden uzakta durmak gerekliydi.
09:40
So they're called "Pictures of Chocolate."
153
555000
1000
Iste bunlarda Cikolata Resimleri.
09:41
Freud probably could explain chocolate better than I. He was the first subject.
154
556000
5000
Freud belki cikolatayi benden daha iyi anlatirdi. Ilk konu oydu.
09:46
And Jackson Pollock also.
155
561000
3000
Ve Jackson Pollock.
09:52
Pictures of crowds are particularly interesting,
156
567000
1000
Kalabalik resimleri ozellikle cok ilginc
09:54
because, you know, you go to that --
157
569000
2000
cunku cok kolay betimleyebileceginiz bir
09:56
you try to figure out the threshold with something you can define very easily,
158
571000
3000
kademeyi tesbit etmeye calisiyorsunuz,
09:59
like a face, goes into becoming just a texture.
159
574000
4000
mesela bir surat sadece bir doku haline geliyor.
10:03
"Paparazzi."
160
578000
1000
"Paparazi".
10:07
I used the dust at the Whitney Museum to render some pieces of their collection.
161
582000
4000
Whitney Muzesindeki tozlari kullanarak koleksiyonlarindan bazi parcalar yaptim.
10:11
And I picked minimalist pieces because they're about specificity.
162
586000
4000
Minimalist parcalar sectim cunku ozgullugu vurguluyordum.
10:15
And you render this with the most non-specific material,
163
590000
3000
Ve bunu en ozgul olmayan malzemeyle yaptim,
10:18
which is dust itself.
164
593000
2000
o da toz.
10:20
Like, you know, you have the skin particles of every single museum visitor.
165
595000
4000
Bildiginiz gibi muzeyi ziyaret edenlerin olu derileri.
10:24
They do a DNA scan of this, they will come up with a great mailing list.
166
599000
6000
Bu esere bir DNA testi yapilsa mukemmel bir posta adres listesi olusur.
10:30
This is Richard Serra.
167
605000
2000
Bu Richard Serra.
10:38
I bought a computer, and [they] told me it had millions of colors in it.
168
613000
4000
Bir bilgisayar satin aldim, bana dediler ki icinde milyonlarca renk var.
10:42
You know an artist's first response to this is, who counted it? You know?
169
617000
4000
Bir sanatcinin buna ilk tepkisi sudur; kim saydi? Anladiniz mi?
10:46
And I realized that I never worked with color,
170
621000
3000
Ve farkettim ki renklerle hic calismadim,
10:49
because I had a hard time controlling the idea of single colors.
171
624000
4000
cunku tek bir renk fikrini kontrol etmekte zorlaniyordum.
10:53
But once they're applied to numeric structure,
172
628000
3000
Ama buna numaralandirilmis bir yapi verirseniz
10:56
then you can feel more comfortable.
173
631000
2000
o zaman daha rahat olursunuz.
10:58
So the first time I worked with colors was by making these mosaics of Pantone swatches.
174
633000
5000
Renklerle ilk calismamda Pantone parcalarla bu mozaikleri yaptim.
11:03
They end up being very large pictures,
175
638000
2000
Sonucta cok buyuk resimler oldular,
11:05
and I photographed with a very large camera --
176
640000
2000
cok buyuk bir fotograf makinesiyle resimlerini cektim --
11:07
an 8x10 camera.
177
642000
2000
sekize onluk bir fotograf makinesiyle.
11:09
So you can see the surface of every single swatch --
178
644000
2000
Her bir parcanin yuzeyini gorebilirsiniz --
11:11
like in this picture of Chuck Close.
179
646000
2000
Chuck Close'un resminde oldugu gibi.
11:13
And you have to walk very far to be able to see it.
180
648000
5000
Ve gorebilmek icin resimden bir hayli geriye yurumeniz gerekli.
11:18
Also, the reference to Gerhard Richter's use of color charts --
181
653000
6000
Bir de Gerhard Richter'in renk tablosu kullanimina referansla --
11:25
and the idea also entering another realm of representation that's very common to us today,
182
660000
4000
ki bu fikir gunumuzde cokca kullanilan bir tarzla ortusmektedir --
11:29
which is the bit map.
183
664000
2000
nokta esasli (bitmap) calismalara geliyoruz.
11:31
I ended up narrowing the subject to Monet's "Haystacks."
184
666000
4000
Konuyu Monet'nin saman balyalarina indirgedim.
11:37
This is something I used to do as a joke --
185
672000
1000
Bunu eskiden bir saka olarak yapardim --
11:38
you know, make -- the same like -- Robert Smithson's "Spiral Jetty" --
186
673000
5000
yani mesela Robert Smithson'un Spiral Jetty'sinin aynisi
11:43
and then leaving traces, as if it was done on a tabletop.
187
678000
4000
ama sanki bir masa ustunde yapilmis gibi izler birakarak.
11:47
I tried to prove that he didn't do that thing in the Salt Lake.
188
682000
4000
Salt Lake'te olanlari yapmadigin ispat etmeye calistim.
11:51
But then, just doing the models, I was trying to explore the relationship
189
686000
4000
Ama sonra, yalnizca modelleri yaparak modelle orjinal
11:55
between the model and the original.
190
690000
2000
arasindaki iliskiyi incelemeye calistim.
11:57
And I felt that I would have to actually go there and make some earthworks myself.
191
692000
6000
Burada gidip yeryuzu calismalari yapmaliymisim gibi hissettim.
12:03
I opt for very simple line drawings -- kind of stupid looking.
192
698000
4000
Cok basit -- hatta aptalca -- cizimleri tercih ettim.
12:08
And at the same time, I was doing these very large constructions,
193
703000
3000
Ve ayni zamanda cok buyuk yapilardi bunlar,
12:11
being 150 meters away.
194
706000
3000
150 metre uzakta olduklari icin.
12:14
Now I would do very small ones, which would be like --
195
709000
4000
Cok kucuklerini de yaptim,
12:18
but under the same light, and I would show them together,
196
713000
3000
ayni isik altinda ikisini beraber gosterince,
12:21
so the viewer would have to really figure it out what one he was looking.
197
716000
3000
bakan kisinin gercekte hangisine baktigini cozmesi gerekiyordu.
12:24
I wasn't interested in the very large things, or in the small things.
198
719000
3000
Benim ilgimi ceken cok buyuk veya cok kucuk seyler degildi.
12:27
I was more interested in the things in between,
199
722000
3000
Ikisinin arasindaki seyler daha cok ilgimi cekiyordu,
12:30
you know, because you can leave an enormous range for ambiguity there.
200
725000
3000
cunku burada belirsizligi daha genis anlamda kullanabiliyordum.
12:36
This is like you see -- the size of a person over there.
201
731000
4000
Mesela burada -- bir insan boyutu goruyoruz.
12:41
This is a pipe.
202
736000
3000
Bu bir pipo.
12:46
A hanger.
203
741000
1000
Bir elbise askisi.
12:48
And this is another thing that I did -- you know working
204
743000
3000
Ve bu da yaptigim baska bir calisma --
12:53
-- everybody loves to watch somebody draw,
205
748000
2000
herkes resim yapan birini seyretmeyi sever,
12:55
but not many people have a chance to watch somebody draw in --
206
750000
3000
ama bircok kisinin ayni anda tek bir resmi cizen kisiyi seyretmesi --
12:58
a lot of people at the same time, to evidence a single drawing.
207
753000
4000
bu cok kisiye kismet olmaz.
13:02
And I love this work,
208
757000
3000
Ve bu calismayi cok begeniyorum,
13:05
because I did these cartoonish clouds over Manhattan for a period of two months.
209
760000
5000
cunku burada iki ay sureyle Manhattan uzerinde karikatursel bulutlar cizdik.
13:10
And it was quite wonderful, because I had an interest -- an early interest -- in theater,
210
765000
4000
Ve bu cok mukemmeldi cunku eskiden beri tiyatroya ilgim vardi,
13:14
that's justified on this thing.
211
769000
2000
bu calisma o ilgiyi hakli cikardi.
13:16
In theater, you have the character and the actor in the same place,
212
771000
4000
Tiyatroda bir karakter ve bir aktor ayni yerde bulunur,
13:20
trying to negotiate each other in front of an audience.
213
775000
2000
seyirci karsisinda birbirleriyle tartisir gibidirler.
13:22
And in this, you'd have like a --
214
777000
2000
Ve burada, elimizde --
13:24
something that looks like a cloud, and it is a cloud at the same time.
215
779000
4000
buluta benzeyen bir sey ve ayni zamanda bir bulut var.
13:28
So they're like perfect actors.
216
783000
2000
Mukemmel aktorlere benziyorlar.
13:31
My interest in acting, especially bad acting, goes a long way.
217
786000
6000
Benim rol yapmaya, ozellikle kotu rol yapmaya olan ilgim cok eskiye dayanir.
13:37
Actually, I once paid like 60 dollars
218
792000
2000
Aslinda, bir seferinde 60 dolar kadar bir para odeyip
13:39
to see a very great actor to do a version of "King Lear,"
219
794000
4000
cok iyi bir tiyatrocunu Kral Lear'i canlandirmasini seyretmeye gittim,
13:43
and I felt really robbed, because by the time the actor started being King Lear,
220
798000
5000
ve kendimi dolandirilmis hissettim cunku aktor Kral Lear rolunu oynarken
13:48
he stopped being the great actor that I had paid money to see.
221
803000
3000
benim gormek icin para verdigim mukemmel aktor olmaktan cikmisti.
13:51
On the other hand, you know, I paid like three dollars, I think --
222
806000
8000
Diger yandan, sanirim uc dolar verip
13:59
and I went to a warehouse in Queens
223
814000
2000
Queens'te bir depoda
14:01
to see a version of "Othello" by an amateur group.
224
816000
5000
amator bir grup tarafindan sahnelenen Otello'yu izlemeye gittim.
14:06
And it was quite fascinating, because you know the guy --
225
821000
3000
Buyuleyiciydi, cunku adi
14:09
his name was Joey Grimaldi --
226
824000
2000
Joey Grimaldi olan oyuncu
14:11
he impersonated the Moorish general
227
826000
3000
Fasli generali canlandiriyordu
14:14
-- you know, for the first three minutes he was really that general,
228
829000
2000
ve ilk uc dakika gercekten o general olmustu,
14:16
and then he went back into plumber, he worked as a plumber, so --
229
831000
4000
ve sonra tesisatci oldu, isi tesisatcilikti, arkadan --
14:20
plumber, general, plumber, general --
230
835000
3000
tesisatci, general, tesisatci, general --
14:23
so for three dollars, I saw two tragedies for the price of one.
231
838000
4000
boylece uc dolara, bir trajedi fiyatina ik tane gormus oldum.
14:29
See, I think it's not really about impression,
232
844000
4000
Bence olay izlenimle ilgili olmaktan cok
14:34
making people fall for a really perfect illusion,
233
849000
2000
insanlari gercekten mukemmel bir iluzyona inandirmak,
14:36
as much as it is to make -- I usually work at the lowest threshold of visual illusion.
234
851000
6000
uretmek de dahil -- Ben cogunlukla gorsel iluzyonun alt sinirinda calisiyorum.
14:42
Because it's not about fooling somebody,
235
857000
3000
Cunku olay birilerini kandirmak degil,
14:45
it's actually giving somebody a measure of their own belief:
236
860000
3000
kisiye kendi inanislarinin sinirlarini vermek:
14:48
how much you want to be fooled.
237
863000
2000
nereye kadar kandirilmak istiyorsunuz.
14:50
That's why we pay to go to magic shows and things like that.
238
865000
4000
Iste bu yuzden sihirbazlik ve benzeri gosterilere gidiyoruz.
14:54
Well, I think that's it.
239
869000
2000
Iste ben boyle dusunuyorum.
14:56
My time is nearly up.
240
871000
1000
Surem bitmek uzere.
14:57
Thank you very much.
241
872000
1000
Cok tesekkur ederim.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Vik Muniz - ArtistVik Muniz delights in subverting a viewer's expectations. He uses unexpected materials to create portraits, landscapes and still lifes, which he then photographs.
Why you should listen
Slf-effacing, frankly open and thought-provoking, all at the same time, Vik Muniz explores the power of representation. He's known for his masterful use of unexpected materials such as chocolate syrup, toy soldiers and paper confetti, but his resulting images transcend mere gimmickry. Most recently, he's been working with a team at MIT to inscribe a castle on a grain of sand ...
Muniz is often hailed as a master illusionist, but he says he's not interested in fooling people. Rather, he wants his images to show people a measure of their own belief. Muniz has exhibited his playfully provocative work in galleries all over the world and was featured in the documentary Waste Land, which follows Muniz around the largest garbage dump in Rio de Janeiro, as he photographs the collectors of recycled materials in which he finds inspiration and beauty. Describing the history of photography as "the history of blindness," his images simply but powerfully remind a viewer of what it means to see, and how our preconceptions can color every experience.
