Bahadir Aksan. DAFFODIL

Edited and created by B. Aksan, O. Karakutuk, G. Česonis and T. Mrazauskas, published by Kaunas Photography Gallery, 2019.

The book creates a space to reflect on a period of life when experience and joy collide with inevitability and prevailing stereotypes related to old age. In the exhibited works, old age is perceived as a stage of accumulated experience, memory, reflection, dignity and courage. Society is inseparable from social networks and the cult of youth, but this cult is paralleled by the problem of an aging society. This co-human process is often represented as something that must be stopped or turned back. Frailty, decay and mortality become synonymous with old age, but this represents only a very limited part of this period of life.
