Semâ Bekirovic

Untitled (from “Drifting Water”) © Semâ Bekirovic I came across some interesting conceptual photographic work by Dutch artist Semâ Bekirovic (see Drifting Water and Museums) - as well as a few nice video and installation projects (see Birds of Prey and Grid). As Marcus Bruystens writes, “An important theme in her work is the tension between obtaining and the letting go of control.” I like this idea and I, too, can see it in Semâ’s work. He goes on,

She creates a situation for something to occur and lets coincidence decide how the work develops… Semâ’s videos and installations evolved from her fascination with the medium photography. Not only is she interested in the nucleus of an image, but also in the effect the image can have. A photo can change the meaning of things without altering the things themselves.
