Artist's Statement
Baris Gokturk’s work stems out of collage-based abstract systems of distorted information. The work embodies a quasi-dysfunctional ad-hoc eco-system of interdependent parts held together by a continuous visual disconnect. The layered narrative originates in contemporary mythologies of culture, power and technology and is truncated by a process of obstacle, failure and slippages, resulting in a synthetic surface of discombobulated imagery.
