Bingöl, is showing things excavated from an area which slums transformed into apartment buildings. Beside the primary topical and conceptual relation of the act of ‘excavating’, Bingöl is inferring his act by the sense of space, archaeology, knowledge and its production.
Osman D. Bingöl mentions the following about his work:
“Soil, with a different stinks from the Blind, dark “livings” and as a “non-portable vessel” is holding things randomly together.I tried to put together the found voice of incantation words resuscitating the evil beings from the 1981 movie ‘The Evil Dead’ with the objects randomly situated undersoil.For me, the act of ‘excavating’ objects is making a sign to the metaphorical relation between “Producing knowledge” and “Resuscitating Beings””
