Under The Red Sky
Solo exhibition
DEPO, Istanbul
Apr 21 – May 21, 2017

“Under the Red Sky” brings together war and immigration-themed video works that Pınar Öğrenci made since the end of 2015. “LED Light City Istanbul” (2015) is a means of researching the changing relationship between the shift in the demographic structure through the influx of immigrants, and economy, architecture, language. “Mawtini”, made up of YouTube videos, (2016) is about the transformation of the Palestinian and Iraqi national anthems into a popular song. Through the evolution of this anthem, which emerged in the golden age of Arab Nationalism, the artist opens a door to think about the fragmented and layered structure of the notion of the nation in the Middle East. The film series, “A Gentle Breeze Passed Over Us” takes as a departure point the story of Ahmed Shaqaqi, a Baghdadi oud artist that Öğrenci met in Vienna. She records the music that Ahmed and his friends perform across the city, simultaneously.
