![]() ![]() We were first introduced to polyamory in 2013 by an American friend living in Miami. Old systems of governance and oppression, in politics, race and gender, are starting to weaken and no longer fit with the contemporary mindset. These are all steps in the ladder of a paradigm shift in the collective consciousness. people are fed up with being treated like idiots. Look at #MeToo in cinema, Abuse of Power Comes as No Surprise in art, gun violence protests, etc. There is a clear road leading us towards much more free, open and transparent choices in all sectors. Two years ago, we devoted all our time to healing, self-healing and healing techniques, thus our collection had healing as the theme: healing oneself, the other, and the planet.Īnd for one year, we’ve been working on our next collection, Alternative Prints, which will celebrate alternative systems, people and communities working to lift the veil – the veil of the corrupt, unhealthy, unsustainable and exploitative systems in all areas of life. Our visual collections are reflections of our inner selves. Let’s dive deep in visuals, images, patterns, prints and research, test, try, invent, innovate. We used it in a few other works as well, then wrote two extensive articles about it for Dazed.įun, incredibly fun! It often starts with a stereo urge in both of us: Let’s make a new collection. Honestly, as an image-maker, in 2011, there was nothing more interesting than the selfie. Something as banal as a front-facing camera changed our relationship with how we capture a moment. That was the time we were truly fascinated by the rise of selfies and political sex scandals, two different things yet very much intertwined in the mediatisation of the self-image. The Pinar & Viola visual collection of 2012, Scandal Aqua, had a series of hot, sensual teenage girls sending their bathroom selfies to their politician idols. When it comes to selfies, around the same time in 2010, Apple introduced the first front-facing camera, and in 2011, the selfie Olympics began. Actually, these buttons were just the side effect of a bigger picture. We used them in the music video for Diplo. Yes, Internet buttons were present quite a lot around 2011, as in that time, our mind was busy with creating a visual Internet folklore. I am very excited about this combination of digital craft and handcraft, it balances me. The space jewels are a new hobby of mine and it makes me feel like a kid again. Besides their decorative effect, they are tools, they function as reminders and motivators. Each jewel sends out a particular message into the space. For now, I’m just making them for myself and I made a few for some close friends, each of them crafted specifically for that person with a specific message for them. They are hanging objects that look like 3D graffiti coming from the anarchist community of fairyland. Besides being a digital image maker and digital painter, I’m making space jewellery. Very grateful to create so much visual ecstasy with this beautiful sparkling Pinar for many years now. In that world, there is freedom, love, equality, peace and abundance. Thus, I am creating a fantasyland with my cosmic sister. A large part of humanity is living in other people’s fantasies, which I do not agree with. At the end of the day, other than love and nature, it is all an illusion. Among all illusion, I find truth in the work I create with Viola. Currently, I’m busy lifting the veil that I let the system impose on my personality and how I behave. My biggest career goal is to get to know myself and have a healthy balance in this mind-body-soul triangle. I’m a mix of three different countries: Turkish in blood, Canadian on paper and Dutch in mind. ![]() Hi, this is Pinar, I like dogs and I like Viola. ![]()
