In her works Pozantı transforms written expressions into visual compositions using her own alphabet called Instant Paradise. The alphabet emerged in relation to data encoding, which has become a prominent practice of the artist’s generation. Through this, she converts phrases into abstract visual compositions. Now that the mass media has considerably shortened the time required to become familiar with an image, Pozantı is looking for ways to extend this timeframe, in other words to reverse it to the “normal” of the olden times. This language that reproduces itself in countless combinations, invites the viewer to pursue the patterns, which are unknown at first sight, yet evoke familiarity in time as they are repeated.
