Arda Yalkin's latest video art work "Bir"
"Bir"
Yes, there is one certainity in this endless chaos and it is that we are waiting for Godot to come."says Vladimir. We are not waiting for anyone. You don't have to invent games like Vladimir and Estragon to soothe your boredom. Hundreds of sights and sounds already entertain us. We face with tens of new sights and sounds without even being able to react to any. Wars, murders, betrayals, lies, infringements etc. They all repeat themselves in such a speed that make it impossible to bring account any of them. They simulate themselves to all kinds of ordinary stuff they flow along. They enter into the real life over our perceptions and they multiply themselves over us. We cannot get rid of this nightmare. How can someone stop something that builds his own self ? Can a self that is built so quickly resist against anything? Who can he rely on? What can he expect?

Arda Yalkin's latest video art work "Cellat" (The Executioner). This piece has been created for ALAN İstanbul's OTOPORTRE (Self Portrait) exhibition.
The Executioner
We all believe in those better days -our own community's better days. We want our right, not justice. We are all faultless, all square. As our numbers increase less space is left for confessions. We are in the secure darkness of the blindness of our conscience. Can we derive the courage to oppose ourselves out of this pure slavery ? Who will take care of the abyss between our reason and the cause we adopted. Who will fling our hypocrisy to our teeth ?Film, Video Arts, Visual Arts2012 -

In year 2011, we shot videos for each of the Mey Beverage brands ( Altınbaş, Kulüp Rakı and İzmir Rakı ). All actors in these B-Movie Style videos were employees of the company. Poor visual effects, scripts that cast never read, production errors… One of the funniest productions we were involved so far. We are not able to put these widely appreciated videos here in accordance with our privacy agreement with the Mey Beverage Company.
