Birth of Art
2003

In Birth of Art, hyper-realistic flowers in a virtual world are set in motion. The video consists of two contrasting parts. Both the images and the musical theme – composed by Michael VECCHIO - first express the hectic feeling of contemporary lives, then create a space of inner serenity where cathedral stones are reflected in digital flowers. Haluk AKAKÇE uses computer technology to explore and extend the boundaries of painting: "My digital paintings are an attempt to create duration within a plane surface."

Black on White and White on Black (The Fiction of an Isolated Object)
2003
single channel video, black and white, sound

Sound in collaboration with Michael Vecchio. "Black on White and White on Black" (The Fiction of an Isolated Object) is meant to be minimalist painting. A flow of lines evolves through limited range of colours: white, blue and black. Each line symbolizes both innocence and solitude: “In the continuous movement of gathering and separation, they either reinforce themselves with tension or shiver of fragility."

Blue and Black on White
2002

Sound in collaboration with Michael VECCHIO. Blue and Black on White is intended to be a minimalist painting in which a flow of lines transforms into a limited range of colours: white, black and blue. Every line symbolises both innocence and solitude: "In their unceasing movement, sometimes gathering, sometimes separating, they either reinforce themselves with silent tension or tremble with fragility."

Forms of Life 01 (Fluid Continuity)
2003
64 x 96 centimeters

The work of Haluk AKAKCE explores abstract and dreamlike landscapes, where biology, architecture, geometry and metaphysics coexist. This indeed is the peculiarity in the perceptive experiences of the artist's work. AKACE produces intensely graphic digital images where abstract and mutant forms give the illusion of representing reality through the means of transformation or evanescence.
