Abstract

"Installation Art", which dates back to the 1960s and has its origins in Dada and ready-made, emerged together with art genres such as environment, happening, performance and asamblaį in a period when all art disciplines were transformed and traditional art rules were broken. Installation art is an experience in which the work is integrated with the space and the viewer, but the presence of the viewer is included in the work. In Installation Art, one can see quite different and diverse art approaches such as video, sound, performance, painting and dance, as well as different and very interesting materials and methods. Experiences such as the audience's sensory participation in the work and even the audience's intervention in the work enable the installation to be used by quite different fields. In this understanding, photography, along with all artistic disciplines, is a highly utilized field of art. Photography shows itself in various forms in quite different installations such as performance, sculpture, dimensional objects, mixed media. Within the scope of this study, photography, which creates a new dimensional experience by integrating its two-dimensionality with new approaches such as sound and smell together with space and audience experience, is examined in the context of installation.
