Video Cube
The videos submitted by the participating galleries to be part of the screening program of the Video Cube at Contemporary Istanbul 2011 have been shortlisted and curated by Irmak and Ceren Arkman from the Kurye Video Organization team to form three separate screenings.
The first selection entitled "City and the Social Man" focuses on our cities and the roles we maintain within social life. The section tries to understand how every city creates its own man and every man creates his/her own city in an unending loop.
The second selection entitled "Political and Cultural Icons" tries to take a novel look at the major symbols and icons in our lives and examines both the materials that lie beneath the icons and the commodification of icons and symbols in our capitalist world.
The last selection entitled "Fragmented Body and the Self" brings together videos, some of them quite neurotic, about the fragments and the fragmentation of the body and the self and tries to shed some light to the problematic relationship everyone sustains with his/her body and mind in today's world.
