Aslıhan Demirtaş, It is always spring, 2017, Installation
Sound piece by Tolga Tüzün
A greenhouse is a perpetual season and an indoor agricultural space. It sustains optimal conditions for uninterrupted growth, creates a year-around consistency for continuous production and virtually eliminates seasons and geographical specificities.
For BAHAR, Demirtaş invites us to inhabit the greenhouse, which overexposes cycles and seasons, through her spatial light and sound installation that employs ‘grow lights’—grolux fluorescent light tubes used to simulate the sun in horticulture and agriculture. How does it feel to constantly produce under flickering lights without sleep?
The sound piece, Agrosomnic Dreams, commissioned by the artist is composed by Tolga Tüzün. It is a pop tune that a farmer listens to while working in the far future in his ultra-tech greenhouse.
