From his own experiences, the artist believed that resignation to depression was superior to struggling with it. Rather, the mental space of depression was for him an alternative form of reality and wisdom, and was the source of inspiration for much of his practice. He created numerous installations about depression, each including the central presence of the psychoanalyst\u0026rsquo;s divan used for diagnosing patients. The first of these was \u003cem\u003eArtist in Depression\u003c/em\u003e, which is a simple, rather clinical setting with a hospital screen and other curious objects such as boxing gloves and a massage roller.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlptekin dacht vaak na over de relaties tussen banaliteit, verveling en depressie in de moderne wereld.

De mentale ruimte van depressie was voor hem eerder een alternatieve vorm van werkelijkheid en wijsheid, en het was een\u0026nbsp; bron van inspiratie voor veel werken. Alptekin maakte tal van installaties over depressie en in elke installatie stond de sofa van de psychoanalist, gebruikt voor de diagnose van pati\u0026euml;nten, centraal.
