Ali Elmacı @ Contemporary Istanbul’13
 
This year, in addition to x-ist's main booth, a project space will be dedicated to Ali Elmacı's solo project of drawings titled "You Will Find Me Not Where You're Looking But Where You've Forgotten Me".
 
Ali Elmacı depicts the modern history of social problems without restraint when it comes to using irony and sarcasm. The aspects of family, society, state, media and sacred values, which are invisible to the naked eye are conveyed through the scenarios and characters that he builds. In his solo project titled "You Will Find Me Not Where You're Looking But Where You've Forgotten Me" exhibited in Contemporary Istanbul 2013, Elmacı shows his mastery in drawing.
 
"You Will Find Me Not Where You're Looking But Where You've Forgotten Me" is a follow-up to his previous work dealing with the media's manipulation of the current events. Elmacı looks at the difference between real occurrences and their camouflaged accounts in the media, claiming that the media cultivates obliviousness in the society by directing its attention from reality to fiction. By making deceptive government propaganda, the media shapes the society and its consumption power in the desired way. With a critical view point, Elmacı aims to confront the viewer with what lies at the bottom of political and social events.
 
Elmacı's project consisting of his brand new drawings will be presented at Contemporary Istanbul for the first time.
