Remains of what has not been said is a photographic series comprising eighty-four images. With minor changes, each photograph shows a pair of arms holding a glass jar almost half full with a dark-colored liquid blackened by the ink from the newspapers the artist collected for 84 days. The liquids in the glass containers are presented in a forensic aesthetic, as though they are more than discards-specimens perhaps, or evidence. Bucak provides some hints of what this "evidence" might refer to. Each glass jar bears a small hand-written mark dating its contents, beginning with February 7, 2016-the day referred as the "basement massacre," when the violence peaked during a state security crackdown on outlawed Kurdish militants in Cizre, a town in southeastern Turkey, close to the Syrian border. Departing from the impossibility of bearing witness to certain types of violence, Bucak shifts the attention from subjects to objects--things that can only be derivatives or remnants of information.
