Sel莽uk Artut: Phantom Limbs
Zilberman is pleased to announce Sel莽uk Artut鈥檚 solo exhibition, Phantom Limbs, set to take place from January 11 to April 5, 2025, at Zilberman | Selected, located at Piyalepa艧a. Phantom Limbs, harboring Artut鈥檚 most recent works, paves the way to an intertwined journey towards the understanding of perception; breaking the horizon of dimensions and exploring the fragile tension between absence and presence.
From his earliest to his most recent works, Sel莽uk Artut investigates the dynamic interplay between humanity and technology, exploring how these interactions redefine our perceptions, experiences, and communications. Through his technological artworks, Artut creates convergence points between humans and technology, dissolving established boundaries.
Phantom Limbs is named after a physiological, psychological, and neurological phenomenon that depicts the margins of consciousness of an amputated body. This concept underscores that the body is not merely a collection of physical parts but a lived, dynamic entity extending into the world through perception and action. The exhibition explores perception as an extension of the body, locating itself amidst the perceived medium, delving on to its centrality in shaping subjective experience.
Continuing Artut's Geomart-ut series鈥攔ooted in traditional geometric patterns鈥� the exhibition harbors two new sculptures, titledGeomart-ut-sc series, crafted from geometric artifacts found in historical monumental structures. Geomart-ut-sc1 echoes its form in the print titled Planet, which presents the sculpture against a breathtaking vista, blurring the line between reality and illusion. The exhibition continues with a two-channel video, created with creative coding, entitled Presence in its Absence, fragmented from patterns in Karatay Madrasa. Complementing this installation are six prints, titled Manifold series, that explore the myriad of possibilities stemming from the work Presence in its Absence. Through this body of work, Artut challenges conventional visual perception, uncovering the ambivalence embedded in the perceived world.
Rooted deeply in dialectic creativity, Artut investigates the enduring relationship between technology, mathematics, and art, reinterpreting historical geometric patterns through a contemporary lens. With the work Presence in its Absence, developed from the intricate patterns of Karatay Madrasa in Konya, the artist reframes the geometrical patterns, long celebrated as emblems of harmony, order, and cultural continuity, into striking artifacts that embody both resilience and fragmentation. In this reimagining, Artut challenges the term 鈥渘ew media,鈥� emphasizing the enduring interplay between innovation and tradition. Echoing historian Bernard Lewis鈥檚 infamous question, 鈥淲hat went wrong?鈥� regarding cultural shifts in the Middle East, Artut explores how geometry, a historically universal language, creates illusions forming complex relationships between absence and presence.
