Meta-Kanon

 Meta-Kanon is a meta-memory. It is a fingerprint, a personal un-canonized narrative, a visual and metaphoric whole that supports the identitary narration of semiotic potential. I am deforming or refreshing the ornamental motif that is considered to be a part of the national heritage possessing certain meaning and canonic function through the relationship between two diverse visual languages, by bringing into focus questions of manipulation and deformation of various social issues. I give a visual commentary, through the motif of deformed ornament, on the distorted value system and the cruelty of the tribalized society in which we are living. In the series of artworks entitled Meta-Kanon I explore the relationship between tradition and contemporary life. It includes a complex re-examination of the embedded canons and value systems as well as the fast changes that we as a society are exposed to. They speak about the local contexts, but, at the same time, they represent a reflection of global events and tendencies toward traditional right-wing politics that are beginning to dominate by emphasising the greatness of national identity. I simulate the error, which is known as the glitch, caused by the machine, i.e. contemporary digital technology, within the framework of the traditional analogue medium. Historical legacy is a complex and broad topic that I am trying to approach from various aspects, and thus the focus of my artworks is on breaking up the usual motions and well-known routes according to a previously defined pattern.
