Alp Peker Rejections

Art is how I stand up against life. We are born into a world of societal norms & double standards. Art is a universe and I create my own world in it, which is free of inhibitions, and much more trustworthy.

‘Sweet Life’

I’m a Turkish photographer and a medicine student living in Izmir, Turkey.

I reject standardized beauty. I reject the classical sense of pain. I reject the correct form of family and relationships. I reject to see genders. I reject having fun the way I should have. I reject humanity if humanity is so specifically stereotyped.

These photographs, half taken in Turkey, half in France, resemble a mockery of modern world, politics, traditions and societal norms.
