Videostill "Between", Irgin Sena

Between
Videoinstallation, 2004

I got the eye as the organ between the mind and the information that comes from outside. The mind moves the eye in search of its objective and in the same time the eye is attracted from what is offered from the outside. The sound is the instant where the radio waves are mixed, when one searches for the channel. I tried to make this moment of being distracted visible.

Double Spot
Video, 2007

„Reciting, a love expression, lighted from below.“

The expression is taken from George Upton (1834–1919). This video deals with clichés and prepared thoughts. It is an exploration about the power of lighting, the transformation that an object or subject may take from changing the position of light. Here it is taken for granted how the subject may look if he is lighted from above like normally it happens; but, in this case it gives you a totally different feeling.
