‘Statues of Salt Water’ is an audio-visual experience born out of a collaboration between artists Emin Gök and Serçin Çabuk (aka Sercodelic). It is an acute representation of the minds ability to wander and through this peculiar quality, write its own myths. It’s dynamic, eclectic, compellingly brittle and identifies itself to an act of creating sculptures out of water, in particular the salt water of the Mediterranean. This feeling of locality comes from the fact that Gök used a range of sounds he recorded on-the-go whilst visiting his hometown, Alexandretta, and mixed it with a somewhat melodic approach to its final form within the confines of the quarantine. The psychological energy and aspects of daydreaming on the other hand, are built out of Çabuk’s creative strategy for the visuals: boiling a variety of paint in a saucepan, again on a regular quarantine day. The protagonist of the work, can be said to be an everyman, stuck with his mind. Yet through her ability to myth-make, which is reinforced by art without a doubt, finds some sort of freedom during these unusual times, although it is one as fragile as statues of salt water.
