In comparison to the b‘İZ’ exhibition which is based on MRI images, the “Embryo” art exhibition captures the codes of hidden human cells and reflects these on surfaces such as tissue, paint, line and stain by using polyurethane in 2009. In particular the core of flesh and bone masses forming the human body which originates from a single cell, nine months and ten days before a human is born. Formed by two genetically different separate cells, the mass has the knowledge and power to create a new organism. The body keeps protecting its introverted identity embedded with these codes despite technological developments.
At this exhibition, we observe the human body being reconstructed to the surface from a state of mystery. Phases showing conversion of the body into abstract art are presented side by side at the exhibition. These phases are finally portrayed in concrete in the richness of body dynamics and energy when cells evolve into tissues, and tissues evolve into systems.
