Flux: Short Animation Inspired by Ä°lhan Koman

in Art | April 28th, 2011 2 Comments

Sit back and enjoy CandaÅŸ ÅžiÅŸman’s video dedicated to the influential Turkish sculptor, Ä°lhan Koman (1923-1986). Rodin, Giacometti, Brancusi – they all informed Koman’s work, and now filter back into ÅžiÅŸman’s video installation, which went on display at last year’s Hulda Festival.

The festival, featuring Koman’s scientific sculptures, ran from March 2009 until November 2010, and traveled to Stockholm, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Bordeaux, Lisbon, Barcelona, Naples, Malta, Thessalonica and finally Istanbul. You can find more of Şişman’s work on Vimeo here.
