Towards the end of Dutlu Kahve Sokak, the door number 80, whose metal plate is starting to rot, is on the shop door, which is too full to pass by with olive oil barrels. In fact, the ground color of the door number plate, which was dark blue, started to turn brown as it rusted. The white numbers 8 and 0 in the middle of the plate are the Avant-garde Gothic character and this character is among the ten least loved characters in the world. The two people standing in front of the door and appearing to be very opposite to each other in form, almost show compatibility with the door number. The upper and lower body of the obese person evokes two overlapping circles due to their excess weight, that is, “8”. The weak one is around 55 kilos, that is, a "0" size. Thus, we complete the numbers on the sign “80”. In addition, there is a difference between the fat man who weighs 135 kilos and the thin young man who weighs 55 kilos: 80 kilos.

Turkey
Hello all! My name is Caner Karavit. I was born in Edirne and raised in Ankara. Currently, I live in Istanbul. Journey of my artistic outlook could be periodized in two stages. First, the contemporary art-related performances, paintings and printmakings that I executed with domestic and foreign art groups. This period corresponds to my higher art education at Istanbul Fine Arts Academy. In both group performances and individual works, the influence of the Western contemporary art, that I was provided during my art education, was intense. The themes of my Western-style contemporary art works were contributed by the layers of the cultural geography in which I was raised. Second stage is deeply affected by the Chinese art, on which I had education from 2007 on in China. During the first years of my presence in China, in Tsinghua University that I worked with a scholarship, I studied woodcut which is one of the oldest arts in China. In following years, I did research on Chinese Buddhist art and took lectures from Liu Hanshi who is a renowned Chinese painting master. These works and studies of mine rendered me with a comparison between the Western and Eastern art, and a synthesis of them both. Studying both of the artistic waves, not only I observed the differences in use of materials but also the differences in mindsets, with their artistic elements and installations. Accordingly, my studies in China changed my perspective towards the composition. The Chinese philosophy of time and space that influenced Chinese art, in turn predominantly influenced the abovementioned change in my understanding of composition. In this context, focusing on element of line, I reflect the places inversed to convert Chinese concept of time into space.
