Not frozen moments, but moving echoes. Motus captures the body in flux—between gesture and memory, rhythm and breath.
Movement is not always speed. Sometimes it’s memory, tension, repetition. Motus explores the language of the body in motion—not in the literal sense, but as a form of emotional trace. These are not images of dancers or gestures; they are photographs of states of becoming.
Burak Bulut Yildirim captures bodies caught in transition, frames that breathe rather than freeze. A raised arm that never settles, a blurred hip in soft light, a figure turning away just before becoming something else. Stillness here is never fixed—it pulses. Motus is the aftermath of motion and the prelude to change. It lives in the liminal space between control and release, memory and moment.
Referencing the photographic heritage of long exposures, experimental blur, and movement studies, the series echoes the works of Étienne-Jules Marey, Barbara Morgan, and the contemporary visual grammar of slow cinema. But its focus is not the documentation of action—it is the evocation of flow.
Each limited edition print invites the viewer not to interpret but to feel: to recall how the body remembers things before the mind does.
