Through this exhibition ‘Collapsed Capital (2020) ’, I project the current pandemic situation on the subject of my work. In the context of worldwide lockdown caused by the Corona pandemic, we receive almost all the news, information and entertainment over the Internet. And now, the Internet, which was simply a medium for news and information, replaces our reality and leads us to a virtual world.
In that world of fake news and commercial advertising, the boundary between truth and fiction is distorted. I express my impression of this current situation through a moving image that combines pictures and drawings of real cities, random 3D and commercial video clips extracted from video channels and streaming services.
A visual fabric of images of figurative and abstract subjects is a visual embodiment of our present world dotted with uncertainty and my anxiety living in it.
