A short interpretation by İlyas Hayta on the empty street that Alper Bıçaklıoğlu gave life with his apocalyptic depictions; two artists meeting in a dead end…

While the video includes Alper Bıçaklıoğlu's dioramas that make the audience look gigantic, İlyas Hayta is inspired by this empty and dead-end street and offers a critical look at the isolation conditions we live in today.

Beyond exact modeling, Bıçaklıoğlu mainly employs graffiti, one of the most important arts representing subculture and he only reduces the structures in size that have art on their outside in his productions.

The artist, who positions us as giant ghosts, is now detailing a street in his dreams. The dead end of the artist which turns the "outside" into "inside" takes us to a surreal world through the eyes of Ilyas Hayta.

“... Our lives focused on city life and socialization are now shifting to rooms and screens with the transformation we go through. When we look at our divided lives, we can see how we move, how we are afraid and how we are motivated; We seem to be trying to navigate in a sunken city, half awake and half dream "
