Fan without blades, 2015
“Kerem Ozan Bayraktar’s fan without blades, a broken machine, a mute orator, a functionless labourer of pleasure. He sets off our expectations while moving resolutely on his course. Our bodies awaken with lust. However this bizarre object leaves the viewer dissatisfied. It only makes us feel the absence of the breeze it points out. The absence of the expected impact fills a several – meter gap to the brim. A majority of works by Kerem Ozan Bayraktar carries this troubling halo.”
