In this understanding, being ‘immune to oneself’ translates as a self-destructive act where the self cannot identify itself and consequently destroys its own parts: cells ravage other cells as a result of a misidentification, a symbiotic relationship turns into a blitz on tissues and organs.This understanding of autoimmunity was challenged by many scientists in the contemporary scene, who contemplated on the fact that the lived body already consists of many different organisms that exist together to sustain life.Altınöz appropriates the problematic self/non-self theory, and showcases the exemplary situation of erasing of borders between the self and its other through an autobiographical and poetic approach, and crafts it into an impure, genre-less moving image. <img width="4240" height="2075" width_o="4240" height_o="2075" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df02074b416205cd8cbc2154cf8da992df5aa78dedb749df1a5b72368571675b/DSC09700-1.JPG" data-mid="137903128" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df02074b416205cd8cbc2154cf8da992df5aa78dedb749df1a5b72368571675b/DSC09700-1.JPG" /> Performing the Lens - Cem Altinoz from V2_ on Vimeo. https://cemaltinoz.com/illusory-essay-of-noise Sat, 02 Dec 2023 15:17:24 +0000 Cemal Works https://cemaltinoz.com/illusory-essay-of-noise illusory essay of noiseinstallation + performance, 2023 &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1553" height="1920" width_o="1553" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1eea60d562c9608ff2950a6bc8a6abae8e6ffa44e8937fa4bd16a0810fd791c8/cem-daphnis.jpg" data-mid="198420872" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1eea60d562c9608ff2950a6bc8a6abae8e6ffa44e8937fa4bd16a0810fd791c8/cem-daphnis.jpg" /> &nbsp;Cem (TR) and Daphnis (GR), as a new-media artist duo, unite their diverse artistic talents to explore the concealed facets of their inner worlds.

The participating artists of TimeWindow were made into groups by the curatorial/dramaturgical team Giovanna di Giacomo &amp; Maria Sertzetaki, to create and present new works by using existing works as starting points.Coming from different fields, Cem &amp; Daphnis found a common ground in their desire to communicate the hidden parts of their lives: their disabilities.In his previous work, a borderless existence, Altinoz was exploring the autoimmune condition of T1DM through his practice of anti-portraits, meanwhile Daphnis’ neo-swan song was based on replicating their personal experiences with ADHD for an audience. Following their match and throughout the co-creation process, the duo went into conversations about the parts that we feel obliged to hide in order to fit in, ‘malfunctions’ in societal terms, ways to raise awareness and creating a pseudo-state of their disabilities in a live audiovisual performance. illusory essay of noise was an outcome of this process, which they performed&nbsp;throughout the first weekend of the festival.&nbsp; The duo later on performed a developped version of this work during GRAW 2023. <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9c322a4d75beb2ce8aee7637dab78d435ef2dee4f3f0f6187e5db6dedc433c7f/DSCF2955.jpg" data-mid="198408588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9c322a4d75beb2ce8aee7637dab78d435ef2dee4f3f0f6187e5db6dedc433c7f/DSCF2955.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f81dd98092c4e03885a9fbbb47d162478f142f2fad292f8743f4f136fb1d15ae/DSCF3095.jpg" data-mid="198408595" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f81dd98092c4e03885a9fbbb47d162478f142f2fad292f8743f4f136fb1d15ae/DSCF3095.jpg" /> https://cemaltinoz.com/counterearth Fri, 01 Dec 2023 20:28:55 +0000 Cemal Works https://cemaltinoz.com/counterearth counterearth live AV, 2023 counterearth is a collaborative AV performance by Altinoz and Richard Guenne, performed during the third edition of ‘darc’, the artistic club night concept from the Leftover Collective.&nbsp;With a blend of electronic beats, atmospheric textures, engaging rhythms, and a visual narrative that deconstructs vague memories lingering amidst the ruins of a disaster, guenn and Altinoz invites the audience to unravel the layers of a post-apocalyptic realm, reflecting on the fragility of our existence and the remnants of a world that lingers somewhere deep within our minds.&nbsp;In their inaugural live set, the novel AV duo aims to transport the audience through a landscape that resonates with the echoes of a forgotten era, where the realms of sound and visuals merge to give birth to a new narrative that arises from the ashes of the past. <img width="3456" height="2234" width_o="3456" height_o="2234" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aeb74b10f9554ccc1321d3468df6a85db8cf1ea941cf9675de1949b30c5f3e78/counterearth_4.png" data-mid="198365734" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aeb74b10f9554ccc1321d3468df6a85db8cf1ea941cf9675de1949b30c5f3e78/counterearth_4.png" /> <img width="3456" height="2234" width_o="3456" height_o="2234" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/15bd91e16c0736927d0fcb75920551bdeb26f1b051ea1263c4f27e3db28901c3/counterearth_3.png" data-mid="198365733" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/15bd91e16c0736927d0fcb75920551bdeb26f1b051ea1263c4f27e3db28901c3/counterearth_3.png" /><img width="3456" height="2234" width_o="3456" height_o="2234" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e99e43f1b010a15832d37a2a04ed16d353b0f3e632a669c98161f8e9f177a3d/counterearth_9.png" data-mid="198365739" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e99e43f1b010a15832d37a2a04ed16d353b0f3e632a669c98161f8e9f177a3d/counterearth_9.png" /> https://cemaltinoz.com/RVRS Sat, 02 Dec 2023 17:18:22 +0000 Cemal Works https://cemaltinoz.com/RVRS RVRS live AV, 2023 RVRS&nbsp;is a collaborative AV performance by Altinoz and Rita Maomenos, performed during Conflux Festival 2023, in Rotterdam.RVRS is built upon a collective audio-visual project that explores themes related to climate disaster, societal trauma, and humanity.

This holds especially true for those ensnared in the allure of self-knowledge. The artists elucidate how societies, through overwrought and symbolic actions, habitually engage in dismantling the impending entropic fate before it engulfs them. The notions of "entropy" and the closely intertwined concept of "time" are dissected within the context of societies' ingrained practices.Instead of passing judgment, they take a closer look at how societies handle the inevitable decay of everything. Steering away from ethical lectures and by using tools of modern electronica from the entertainment scene, they present an impressionistic audiovisual performance, aiming to connect their work with larger communities. https://cemaltinoz.com/transgross Tue, 29 Mar 2022 12:59:44 +0000 Cemal Works https://cemaltinoz.com/transgross &nbsp;transgross&nbsp; publication project, 2020-ongoing <img width="2832" height="4240" width_o="2832" height_o="4240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6210f064d0c4ced433b11be4272041e58a7be073caa0772a62564468e01c6102/tg_cover.png" data-mid="137903148" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6210f064d0c4ced433b11be4272041e58a7be073caa0772a62564468e01c6102/tg_cover.png" /> <img width="1180" height="1770" width_o="1180" height_o="1770" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0869ce2dfc182ab42b46f7c13c0590f104164ffa795a9f14ea49324ab580450c/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0578_lowres.jpg" data-mid="234643914" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0869ce2dfc182ab42b46f7c13c0590f104164ffa795a9f14ea49324ab580450c/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0578_lowres.jpg" /> <img width="1770" height="1180" width_o="1770" height_o="1180" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dea882ee8a9da1468dbd1f2d6aa9931f7dc3f26f8cae5a94bc1e451d5ab45308/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0689_lowres.jpg" data-mid="234643917" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dea882ee8a9da1468dbd1f2d6aa9931f7dc3f26f8cae5a94bc1e451d5ab45308/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0689_lowres.jpg" /> <img width="1770" height="1180" width_o="1770" height_o="1180" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4112bcf28c497a465384212e2b01567f57049897fb69b0667a80b5a5eb5e7774/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0690_lowres.jpg" data-mid="234643918" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4112bcf28c497a465384212e2b01567f57049897fb69b0667a80b5a5eb5e7774/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0690_lowres.jpg" /> <img width="1770" height="1180" width_o="1770" height_o="1180" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5820478eb1f20fc75f1a4edae20f575eb7d4a9427542170409f02ef2d86e028c/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0567_lowres.jpg" data-mid="234643913" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5820478eb1f20fc75f1a4edae20f575eb7d4a9427542170409f02ef2d86e028c/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0567_lowres.jpg" /> <img width="1770" height="1180" width_o="1770" height_o="1180" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e00fde4de3239471862971c51afd1ee96d8997e4ed2a33ce28370fb11d951fbc/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0585_lowres.jpg" data-mid="234643915" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e00fde4de3239471862971c51afd1ee96d8997e4ed2a33ce28370fb11d951fbc/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0585_lowres.jpg" /> <img width="1770" height="1180" width_o="1770" height_o="1180" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/144a78ca86b3bb8ecde175eb267da288d777412a3950915fc6dbb6f0162c46a4/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0685_lowres.jpg" data-mid="234643916" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/144a78ca86b3bb8ecde175eb267da288d777412a3950915fc6dbb6f0162c46a4/LS_250304_Draag-je-Groei-met-Zorg_DSC0685_lowres.jpg" /> exhibition photos by&nbsp;Lotte Stekelenburg ︎ ( Would you like to become a part of a collective publication? Jump in&nbsp;here.&nbsp;) ︎ transgross is a publication project that has started out as a single photobook, during the first year of Altınöz’s studies at Piet Zwart Institute. The book consists of images of Altınöz’s personal photographic archive of life and death which he had encountered throughout his everyday life in the past years. The collection of images at times evoke an uneasiness, and often plain, core disgust; yet they also captivate the viewer and create a paradoxical situation of a simultaneous attraction and repulsion. transgross is an unorthodox visual diary of life and death through everyday life. As all living beings, it can not stay stable: it changes, develops, and adapts itself to the world. In order to spread more easily, as we speak, it is mutating into prints, postcards, stickers, zines, t-shirts. transgross has been exhibited in MaMA Rotterdam in 2025.&nbsp; ︎ ( Would you liketo become a part ofa collective publication?Jump in here. ) ︎ &nbsp; <img width="3024" height="3779" width_o="3024" height_o="3779" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f4d82948b3319ea85ecc18eb32fdfaa96fd29d0650293d14a7ab452a18454e5/transgross-2020-5898.jpg" data-mid="137903154" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f4d82948b3319ea85ecc18eb32fdfaa96fd29d0650293d14a7ab452a18454e5/transgross-2020-5898.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/479833e2bd24a3333cdfd80f0a5cf4d1d3dbda245250e2ec894ecb807bd0dda4/transgross-2020-1721.jpg" data-mid="137903152" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/479833e2bd24a3333cdfd80f0a5cf4d1d3dbda245250e2ec894ecb807bd0dda4/transgross-2020-1721.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b1e6fb20417283e1cace0d6bc222c748a802b085a0754327164f974b00afbd47/tg_03.JPG" data-mid="137903147" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b1e6fb20417283e1cace0d6bc222c748a802b085a0754327164f974b00afbd47/tg_03.JPG" /> <img width="1280" height="720" width_o="1280" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/10c39da004b4f032c5d399f96cec537226e3250a53e47f16a777fec9b24218c4/transgross-2020-38.jpg" data-mid="137903153" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/10c39da004b4f032c5d399f96cec537226e3250a53e47f16a777fec9b24218c4/transgross-2020-38.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0db0872845b2d616afbb81b7e8ef6cb939515bcfde002931753f2b44ee161d7/tg_01.JPG" data-mid="137903145" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c0db0872845b2d616afbb81b7e8ef6cb939515bcfde002931753f2b44ee161d7/tg_01.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb06c8ca62257d250a27b883384a673668b8d41a0298ce7219f29c39aea3d4ba/transgross-2020-1621.jpg" data-mid="137903151" border="0" data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb06c8ca62257d250a27b883384a673668b8d41a0298ce7219f29c39aea3d4ba/transgross-2020-1621.jpg" /> “It originates from a totally self driven and intuitive place, as a result of an inclination I have towards photographing subjects that evoke an abject feeling in me, such as insects, animal corpses, signifiers of organic decay. They are documentations of life’s residues, those which I come across during my everyday life...as the name suggests, is open to being interpreted as a transgressive act, that transcends what is considered plainly as “gross” and promotes an aesthetic pleasure that can arise from the “gross”, and aims to provoke the viewer in this manner.” The conception of transgross happened in the first year of my studies in Piet Zwart Institute, after a thematic seminar with Frits Gierstberg on the history of photo-books, I decided that this was the perfect time to give life to the dormant images in my hard drive. These photographs, similar to what they portrayed, were lifeless and alive at the same time.I considered the images in transgross to be parts of myself, as they were mostly what I came across during my experiences of everyday life. These photographs were traces of my experiences, hidden in an external memory...photographs of things that I encountered in my daily life that disgusted and fascinated me; it was time for them to snoop into the world: I ended their lifeless existence, through creating transgross.”From ‘body wants to live but’Altınöz’s graduation thesis forMaster of Arts in Fine Art &amp; Design: Lens-Based Media https://cemaltinoz.com/Antiportraits Tue, 29 Mar 2022 12:59:45 +0000 Cemal Works https://cemaltinoz.com/Antiportraits <img width="2208" height="1402" width_o="2208" height_o="1402" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03a53accad234c0561c7c9ce9c82f68cc891f56f1c181384819e0f0d617f08a1/img20201103_20533488-1.JPG" data-mid="137903162" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03a53accad234c0561c7c9ce9c82f68cc891f56f1c181384819e0f0d617f08a1/img20201103_20533488-1.JPG" />
