Finally, I Felt Nothing. Animation

With 'fight club' inspiration, I wanted to be Marla. Marla is a character showing todays senseless and soulless lifes. So in todays world days are passing and passing and at the end of each of them we are reacting less and less. And we are turning into our individual and lonely lifes.

Nicholas Mangan, A World Undone, 2012 ( exhibition report)

I visited the Bienal in Contemporary İstanbul and  chose that work named  A World Undone by Nicholas Mangan in 2012.In this work, the artist uses sculptures and slow motion movie. I will try to highlight the movie part of this job. In the movie used technique is slow motion shots. In the whole work, this movie is like trying to strengthen the power of sculptures in a more vivid and concrete way while demonstrating his concern.

If we begin with biography of the artist to have a deeper analysis, he was born in Geelong, 1979 and still lives and works in Melbourne,Australia.He is interested in both history&science. Especially good at forming meaning  from objects, culture and natural phenomena. In the first place, he is a sculpture but he works with many other type of arts. But in every type of arts, he adresses  the themes including colonialism, humanity’s  awkward relationship with natural environment and complex dynamics of the global political economy.

If we link that biography with Mangan’s “A World Undone’’ work, there are lots of similarities. Firstly, we may attribute this work to humanity’s fake relationship with natural environment. He targets the discovery of zircon crystal in Jack Hills, a remote area of western Australia which is known as one of the oldest place in earth, & the inhumane attacks of humanity to this important mine. Although we are all natural creatures living in a natural atmosphere, we all treat nature inhumanely. Instead of preserving the natural life, we are damaging it with our commercial interests and greedy instincts. So in this work Mangan works with some metophorical issues.While constituting this work, he captures crushed geological matter from Jack Hills in airborne flux. This is the real part captured by camera and being showed in slow motion.But  we may find some similiarities with meteorite showers and cosmic dust during the scenes, which is able to be observed also in my short record located above.The metaphoric illustration  comes with a conflict. Here the artist tries to find some similarities with construction &devastation of the world. Whereas meteorite showers especially take place in the construction of universe, the crushed geological matter is formed during the humane’s devastating nature with its commercial interest, changing conditions in capitalist environment. The conflict between scenes is illustrated perfectly. This work is like artist’s scream for dematerialization in a materialized world.Also the sound that took place at the background gives the feeling of being lost and the fear of obscurity.So the obscurity coming with the devastation of the world is shown in an audio visual way.
