UNTITLED MACHINE / LAST IMPRESSIONS

İsimsiz Makina /Son Baskılar
2012
Mixed media installation
24 limited edition original prints on paper

Untitled Machine and Last Impressions were part of An Attempt at Exhausting a Place, a group show at Istanbul’s recently closed Passover Bakery. Untitled Machine mirrors the 21 m long machine still located on the first floor of the exhibition space. The installation consists of 14 video loops, shot from various parts of the machine as it runs without producing anything. Last Impressions were created as the machine run one last time to produce a series of 24 prints on paper. The installation also includes a headset with excerpts from interviews conducted with various people who have had some kind of affinity to the space.
