Murat Burhanoğlu : Black Sun
Murat Burhanoğlu presents us a flora and a fauna, an eerie playground for a struggle of instincts with and within civilization.
A black sun of many desires shines on the doings of the entities that populate this world, starkly rendering their struggle of will, their biting, their hitting, their running, and their wandering through a primordial rawness. Archaic quotes and visions from the future walk hand in hand in this dense forest. And saints, palaces and ruins strive to assert their own narrative in this claim for an illustrated perfection.
