spears of destiny

I've decided to overcome the preconceptions and create something innocently fearful in the original idea.
This is how the idea of the lancer-floor room with the suspension staircase occurred.

The Extremely Flammable

The clay slab is very fragile until it goes to the kiln. The matches are arranged as the extremely flammable icons.

The Extremely Flammable is a mental spin-off of the 'spear of destiny' project.

Gagarin

Gagarin, a Hungarian folk-rock-band (not too sure about their style) asked for a logo and I had a couple of answers. This was one of my favourites. They are currently using a different version but as soon as they launch the album, we'll see which one they prefer ;)

flat-pack-room

When the flat-to-form design brief was released at the university, I was aiming for creating a flattable room. Simultaneously, I was experimenting with materials; I started to sketch this mechanical maquett. The size of the black sheet underneath is A/1. (594x841mm or 23.386x33.11 inches)

The white ring in front of the bird is tied to a thread system and by pulling it, the cachet will close itself. Quite surprising if you don't know what to expect.

The same concept may be used as a lamp shade but the pulling system should go preferably replaced by an electro engined spool system.

What came first the chicken or the bulb?

Lock Tavern 3D logo design

When I started working for the Lock Tavern I was obsessed, so I made little images like this.. 'little' - these are real size cutleries bought in the London based local Turkish pound shop at the time.

shadows and lights

This image was created during a little set design for shadows and reflections.

map illustration

Some illustration details from a map design requested to match the style of the Victorian era. It was cancelled, which is a shame - I enjoyed the research and the fine drawing as well.

tattoo

One of my very close friends asked me to design a nonfigurative body pattern based on our first design; the little fragment on the side of his head.

retina tag

Subconscious message left on retina.
This is an unusal experience but based on an everyday phenomenon.
As soon as a stronger light hits our retina it becomes loaded with the experience.. I was examining the situation and realised that it's able to "remember" more than one effect. Can you see the word "shakespeare" inscribed? They are fragments of a whole so well-positioned flashes set "hamlet" in our subconscious. The lovely thing in this is that it's visible but has never been introduced. As I started my visual research and trials I started to build an outcome of the showcase. I originally planned to introduce this in a theater but for a first contact experience I created the box. The pieces on the left side - of the middle picture - expose that simple 'finger powered' mechanism, witch makes the slow turns possible.
The beauty of the material kept me thinking and I found myself creating more design-ideas on how to use more of this mechanism in the box.
On the right side of the pieces there are other visually interesting solutions to keep the turning wheel on a luminous box; the hidden message.

luster

flat pack minimal. the frame on the ceiling.. that's what I love the most in this one

challenge

many photos were taken when my uncle visited me in 2008 and we struggled with carrying his wheelchair across the city.. so when we finally reached the icons, the satisfaction turned into something else. Pretty much a challenge from the 'metropolis'.

pending clock

I gave myself a £30 budget. I had help for one hour when the shooting started. I sent a message to her 'help me' and she entered in the next minute/just like that. My lovely and talented assistant, Kristina Gencaite was helping me out when I needed to move the light and the camera at the same time. Thank you :) I edited the film to 5 minutes and will probably upload it to one of the online video communities. I'll let you know.

I had 2 days to set the scene and film it.
The sound of ticking was all over the room. It sounded unearthly.

this installation created a very special athmosphere.

This will be a collection of my artistic thoughts.
