Bazen bir ağacın gölgesinde durup düşünmek gerekiyor.Troya Müzesi'nin bahçesinde, tarihin izleri arasında dolaşırken zeytinin hikâyesini düşünüyorum. Akdeniz'in binlerce yıllık kültüründe zeytin, yalnızca bir ağaç değil; bereketin, emeğin ve yaşamın simgesi. Athena'nın insanlara zeytin ağacını armağan etmesi, bilgeliği ve bereketi simgeliyor.
Troya'nın hikâyesini çoğu zaman savaşlar ve Homeros'un dizeleriyle hatırlıyoruz.

Zeytin gibi semboller, geçmişte olduğu gibi bugün de doğayla tarihin yan yana var olabileceğini hatırlatıyor.
10.Çanakkale Bienali de bizi bu buluşmaya çağırıyor.
“Metcezir” temasıyla yükseliş ve çekiliş gibi zıt hareketler arasında salınan denge, doğa, tarih ve sanatın da birlikte akıp çekildiği hissini çağrıştırıyor. Troya Müzesi bahçesindeki zeytin ağaçları da bu ritme dahil sanki; tarih geri çekilirken doğa yükseliyor gibi. Belki de anlatmak istediğimiz tam olarak bu denge: Geçmişi tutarken bugünü kaçırmamak..

For a while, I’ve been thinking about birds, especially in relation to space, human and animal relationships and human control over nature. In my first solo exhibition Square, I made works about how the pandemic changed our relationship with space and limited our everyday lives. My work Garden, made for this exhibition in 2022, led me to explore the idea of parterre gardens.

When I started looking into parterre gardens, I came across a sentence on wiki that made me look at them differently: “The view of a parterre from inside the house, especially from the upper floors, was a major consideration in its design.” In other words, these gardens were designed to be best viewed from inside the house, especially from the upper floors So if you owned a property, you had the privilege of enjoying this view and
the higher you were, the better you could see the gardens.
I find it interesting that humans try to control nature by turning something wild and unpredictable into something neat and orderly. Meanwhile, birds naturally have the perfect view of these gardens simply by flying above them. What humans try so hard to achieve, birds can do effortlessly. I find this contrast a little funny. 🐸

In Birdview, I brought images of the roadside landscape into the aesthetic of parterre gardens. These are photographs I took on the road to Izmir Bird Paradise, showing wild plants growing along the way. I placed these images of wild landscapes within the controlled and symmetrical structure of a formal garden. Despite the waste and factories around them, these plants continue to grow naturally. In the center of the garden, I placed a birdbath instead of a fountain and added elements to the frame that resemble topiary. 🪹

For three decades, he’s been holding up a mirror to Turkey. And rarely does the image sit still.

Halil Altındere. Born 1971 in Mardin, Kurdish, based in Istanbul. One of the most influential contemporary artists to emerge from Turkey since the 1990s.

He works across video, sculpture, photography and installation, often with sharp black humor. His subjects: migration, identity, gender, urban transformation, and the systems that decide who belongs where. He turns state symbols into material, passports, flags, banknotes, stamps, and asks what they really hold together.

In „Old Battles, New Protocols“ (2025), Altındere works in acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, in collaboration with the miniaturists Filiz Adıgüzel and Fatma Akdaş. The classical Ottoman miniature tradition meets the language of modern warfare, surveillance and drones. Old battles. New protocols. The forms shift. The logic doesn’t.

Beyond his own practice, Altındere shaped an entire generation as founder of ART-IST Contemporary Art Magazine, and as curator of the artists who came after him.
