Angel

“Since long I felt that we can look at each object through a rabbit hole, and this hole will be bottomless, filled with movement and diversity. Depending on the angle of refractive lights, we visualise different things in the darkness. We can put these things next to each other and look at them through refractive lights. They will be of different shape and thickness, with constantly moving contours. This process will be endless, never reaching an outcome. I have always wanted to capture that moment when the difference goes through the rabbit hole and only the meaning remains. Angel is a creature that knows only the meaning. It travels endlessly through and through, finding and immediately losing itself. It recognizes and stops recognising, carrying against his chest an infinite number of version of itself, that blend together in its infinity.”
