Poster for Going to Homeland Heimei-Maru

— · ★ 10.0 (1)

After enduring six grueling years in Russian prisoner-of-war camps during World War I, hundreds of Turkish soldiers finally begin their journey home on February 23, 1921. Boarding the Japanese ship Heimei-Maru, under the courageous command of Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Tsumura, they believe their ordeal is over. However, as the ship reaches the waters off Mytilene, it is intercepted by a Greek warship, sparking a diplomatic crisis and a prolonged wait at sea. It isn't until June 25, 1922, that the weary soldiers finally touch the soil of Istanbul. Decades later, Mustafa Dokur, the son of one of those soldiers, embarks on a personal mission to piece together his father’s lost history. Armed with nothing but a faded photograph and a weathered notebook, Mustafa’s search for answers unearths a forgotten saga of resilience, international solidarity, and the unbreakable bond between a father and a son across time.

Poster for Kansas Atlas

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"A four-channel video installation featuring original footage shot primarily from a bird’s eye view of the Kansas town known as the geographical center of the US as a way to reflect upon what the artist considers “a metonymy for the country as a whole”. Double-projection imagery of the aerial shots of this landscape — at times forming abstract and stereoscope-like compositions — become close-ups on grotesque monuments and sculptures as the camera descends to ground level. Additionally, two iPads both contained within glass domes each play a video of one of two houses that sit directly opposite each other in a residential Topeka neighborhood. One is the headquarters of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church with its anti-LGBTQ signs and other hate-filled rhetoric; the second is the “Equality House”, which was formed later as a direct response, with its rainbow colors and messages of peace and acceptance." - Microscope Gallery
