This installation consists of the video “looking glass” by the artists Terēze Zabarovska and Egemen Karaaslan. The short film was recorded using only reflections, either through windows or mirrors, to create a dreamy, melancholic atmosphere. The shards represent the fragmentation of one’s true self as well as self-reflection. The projection in this installation is caught and scattered over and over again as the layers of shards show only small glimpses of another world.
Egemen Karaaslan is an Austrian visual artist and author with Turkish roots. In the past he worked with Videogame Studios like Ubisoft and newspapers like der Standard. The goal of his art pieces is to capture the feeling of nostalgia and melancholy. His focus is on telling narrative stories with authentic characters and relatable topics mixed with fantastical settings. He also works part-time in a photo studio editing images.
