Unweighted / 2018-2019
4,5 tons of dead walnut tree, metal, light, gravity
“We are able to make sense of ‘Mass’ within the interval of perception in which humans can touch the universe, and as far as science may put on it: Dust grain, leaf, ball, shot put, concrete block, earth, ‘VY Canis Majoris’ star which is seven decillions (10³³) times larger than the earth, or ‘IC 1101’ on a 4 million light-years scale (you need to fill in a few progressing pages with numbers to compare its mass to that of the world) as one of the most giant known galaxies in the universe, pushing even the limits of mathematical expression power.
The main component of ‘Unweighted’ is an amorphous piece of 4.5 tons separated from the trunk of a dead walnut tree from the Eastern Black Sea Region… Minimal interventions to the natural form of a sick tree that has lost vitality lead us to a heterogeneous mass distribution and an unbalanced form. With these interventions and more than 10 ‘tumours’ found on the tree, the idea of ‘mass’ presents an exaggerated, sophisticated, striking, imposing visual image that can be attributed to an advanced representation mission.
This image; can lead us to an asteroid that has been part of the macro movement by submitting to the laws of the universe for millions of years, or it can be imagined as the projection of a giant rock shaped by the forces of nature over hundreds of thousands of years. Within the system, contrary to the concerns of mass balance, the horizontal metal layer, which was assigned a conceptual and visual balance mission, was coded as an elliptical layer with reference to all the regular movements of the universe spreading to infinity.
The space identified by the gallery; offers an approach that minimises the spatial depth of the three dimensions of the ‘White Cube’ surfaces. This system, in which I try to isolate the entire depth of meaning of the ‘mass’ and to ascribe this meaning to it, stands against gravity by hanging in the gallery space under the determination of the ‘White Cube’ phenomenon. I want to make the most rational and striking sense of the relationship between ‘mass-space’ and ‘Weightless’, which is the shadow area where the amorphous form projects the contours of this state of contactless and the cold light embracing it.”
