VOLKAN KIZILTUNÇ'S “EŞİK[TE]” EXHIBITION AT MERKUR 

​

In the new season, MERKUR is hosting one of the successful young artists Volkan Kızıltunç's solo exhibition titled  “Eşik[te]”. Volkan Kızıltunç's personal exhibition titled The Eşik[te], which consists of photography and video works he recorded in many European cities, especially in Istanbul and London between 2004-2012, will meet with the audience between 13 September 2013 and 19 October 2013.

 

While looking for the traces of reality through the visual evidence of the situations caught between the past and the future in the photographs of the artist in the exhibition titled "Eşik[te]", he creates a poetic threshold between the moving and the still image by addressing the two-dimensional boundaries of photography with his video works.

 

In his works, Volkan Kızltunç conveys the topographical inferences of cities as well as the interaction of people with this topography and the traces of the reality he left behind. Seeing himself as a “sensitive observer of the city”, the young artist always prefers to stay a little beyond the photographic 'moment'. He presents the visual evidence of the situations at the threshold between the past and the future, whose end is certain but whose duration is unknown, and which is stuck between the past and the future, in a photographic-cinematographic and poetic language.

 

The artist, who has already made himself a place among the rising new generation artists of Turkey, has 11 color, 7 monochrome photographs and 3 video installations in the exhibition "Esik[te]  Mercury between September 13, 2013 - October 19, 2013 It can be viewed in the Gallery.
