Fikret Atay (TR) / Tinica


Tinica (2004) is a single-channel video from the Turkish artist Fikret Atay. Sunsets over the city Batman. A boy gathers garbage around him: empty cans of sunflower oil, a plastic paint-bucket, ...It's the beginning of a energetic improvisation aimed at the city glowing below him. The eruption stops as suddenly as it began and the boy kicks the garbage down the hill. Fikret Atay (Batman, 1976) lives and works since 2003 in Paris.
