Özet:

 Smart devices, which increase the dominance of people in their daily lives, are becoming a part of life with the proliferation of social media platforms. The normalization of human images, which are isolated from the time and place they are in and focus only on the screen in front of them, in public transportation vehicles, stops and visits to relatives, summarizes this situation. Eric Pickersgill strikingly reflects these states in his photographic project Removed. The images that Pickersgill produced by blurring smart devices from their framing arouse curiosity as to whether similar situations were experienced before smart devices were invented. The main aim of the study is to examine the situations of isolation, which are frequently encountered in the social media age, in the context of alienation through Eric Pickersgills photographs and to compare this project with Martin Parrs photographic project called Bored Couples and to question whether alienation has been experienced before the invention of smart devices. Photo projects selected with purposeful sampling were analyzed by document analysis method and compared in the context of Marxs social approach to alienation. As a result of some remarkable similarities between the photographs, important clues have been reached that the states of isolation before and during the social media age can be associated with the alienation of the individual from himself and his environment.

 İnsanların gündelik hayatındaki hâkimiyetini her geçen gün daha da artıran akıllı cihazlar, sosyal medya platformlarının da çoğalmasıyla birlikte yaşamın bir parçası haline gelmektedir. Toplu taşıma araçlarında, duraklarda ve akraba ziyaretleri gibi ortamlarda, içinde bulunduğu zamandan ve mekândan soyutlanarak sadece önündeki ekrana odaklanan insan görüntülerinin sıradanlaşması bu durumu özetlemektedir. Eric Pickersgill, Removed adlı fotoğraf projesinde bu halleri çarpıcı biçimde yansıtmaktadır. Pickersgillin akıllı cihazları kadrajından silikleştirerek ürettiği görüntüler, akıllı cihazlar icat edilmeden önce benzer hallerin yaşanıp yaşanmadığına dair bir merak uyandırmaktadır. Çalışmanın temel hedefi, sosyal medya çağında sıklıkla karşılaşılan soyutlanmışlık hallerini Eric Pickersgillin fotoğrafları aracılığıyla yabancılaşma bağlamında ele almak ve bu projeyi Martin Parrın Bored Couples adlı fotoğraf projesiyle karşılaştırarak yabancılaşma hallerinin akıllı cihazların icadından önce de yaşanıp yaşanmadığını sorgulamaktır. Amaçlı örneklemle seçilen fotoğraf projeleri doküman analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiş ve Marxın yabancılaşmayı ele aldığı toplumsal yaklaşımı bağlamında karşılaştırılmıştır. Fotoğraflar arasında göze çarpan bazı önemli benzerlikler sonucunda, sosyal medya çağı öncesi ve süresince ortaya çıkan soyutlanma hallerinin, bireyin kendisine ve çevresine yabancılaşmasıyla ilişkilendirilebileceğine dair önemli ipuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.
