Curated by Çağla İlk and Misal Adnan Yıldız with Hendrik Bündge and Benedikt Seerieder
The video work "Sparrow" is presented on a smart phone or ipad which is connected to the charger. On the screen we see a small sparrow lying on its back and breathing heavily in an infinite loop. The image and the act of breathing are maintained on the screen surface via the connection to electrical power. At the same time, the sparrow is constantly and endlessly in a state of emergency.

…Departing from the complex residue of colonial history on the island of Cyprus, Cypriot artist Stelios Kallinikou’s photographic works Flamingo Theatre (2015) feature migratory birds and fighter jets thundering through the sky.

Flamingo Theatre, 2019,
Video, 13 minutes
The 13-minute video work entitled “Flamingo Theatre” is inspired by various videos that exist on the internet that in one way or another relate to Akrotiri (British Western Sovereign Base Area) . A vast archival digital material consisting of very heterogeneous sources is transformed into an abstract collage of poetic images that aspire to render the nuances and contradictions of Akrotiri penisula.
