Ali Bilge Akkaya’s third solo exhibition entitled “Three or Profound Adventures of Desolate Roads” can be visited between February 28 – March 30 at x-ist’s new address Karaköy Juma.
In his third solo exhibition, Ali Bilge Akkaya, who adds his strong aesthetic vision and perfectionist attitude to his frame as a result of the coincidences brought by the moment, stays related with his previous series, while he carries this one step further and presents the audience a series where they can lose themselves in his story and which also contains personal details regarding himself.
In his frames where the dramatic effect of contrasts are obviously seen, the artist goes one step further than the illusions that he creates through symmetry, the figures in motion which succeed in drawing attention at an unexpected point and the scenes giving an impression of being frozen in the moment. He defeats the boundaries of photography with the frame form and experiences his language created through specific geometric arrangements by means of a new form and sizing. “Check-in, Antalya”, in which he has directly captured the effect of language, meets the audience as his first and the only video work in this exhibition.
