Virtual Landscapes

19 December 2014 – 17 January 2015

Ali Alışır creates an original language between photography and painting, starting out in his exhibition “Virtual Landscapes” from the image of the “tree” as a concept with many different meanings in a number of cultures and teaching, being featured in many mythical legends. The concept of the “tree”, which represents an ancient knowledge of life in esoteric culture and discourse, as well as a contact point between the spiritual and corporal worlds, is approached by the artist in the light of the current political and sociological concepts and images, suggesting alternative forms of perception and combining the knowledge tree of the past with the social sharing environment (internet) of the modern age.
