House for an Art Lover

New film work by Bahar Yürükoglu and Alex Sarkisian explored the artists’ collaborative relationship, which began after they met in Svalbard, in the Arctic Circle, and continued until they met again exactly two years later in the inverse climate of Guna Yala, Panama.

By turning the camera on the artists, the film revealed concerns around their self-positioning in these particular sites, as well as their individual positions within the collaboration. Conceived as a film installation for Glasgow International, the work built on narratives of the Anthropocene and inherited histories, whilst examining a relationship between the two figures based on uncanny humour.
