The Narrative of Inadequacy: Istanbul
The Narrative of Inadequacy
Episode 1: New York, Episode 2: Istanbul, Episode 3: ?
When I set out to shoot the first segment of this project in New York here’s what I offered as a synopsis to my subjects:
A friend recently asked me “where is the sublime of failure?’ The Narrative of Inadequacy delves into the unpredictability of physical intimacy, an experience that antagonizes much of our social interactions and beckons us to wrangle with that part of ourselves which remains immune to cognitive organization.
I gathered accounts of moments where intimacy and the feeling of inadequacy intercepted. After New York, I collected similar statements in Istanbul. These cities yielded vastly different and culturally charged notions of inadequacy. It became apparent to me that so much can be learned about a specific locus and cultural mores through their notions of inadequacy.
