Topology, conceptually and philosophically, explores notions such as space, connectedness, and continuity. In areas of mathematics, topological properties remain constant during deformations, twisting, and stretching of objects. However, tearing is not included in this rule. The topology of contemporary art refers to the properties of ""contemporary art"" and “contemporaneity” that remain constant and preserved throughout the various transformations of the instances of this concept.
Formalizing the normative dimensions, Tumulus connects death and life, past and present. By making the aforementioned tangible, this multimedia exhibition draws a fine line between history and culture, discussing political interrelationships between rituals and people. Within Tumulus viewers find documentary/experimental film, video, and digital collage. Duality, belief, and radicalism are among the concepts that lie beneath the subtext of this multimedia exhibition.
