29.05.2024
Bilsart presents Eda Emirdağ’s exhibition entitled “That You Don’t Know” between May 29 – June 8, 2024.
The video exhibition ‘’That You Don’t Know’ allows us to view the archive of Eda Emirdağ’s works since 2015 from the artist’s perspective, and includes her academic video project on the contemporary impact of surveillance systems she researched during the pandemic period. The work ‘zoom as a panopticon’, which deals with personal data on the image from a speculative point of view and wants to open it up for discussion, questions the ethics of recording the zoom images she has been collecting since April 2020 and using them for art production.
The work titled “democracy” in the exhibition, which includes video works from the past to the present, examines the wisdom of nature, which he has recently been interested in, through moving image.
