Maison Valentino continues its exploration of contemporary creativity through the digital lens, presenting the second chapter of the digital creative project dedicated to the Valentino Garavani DeVain bag.
Following the November 18th release of the first five artists, this new chapter unveils the works of four additional international talents: Animus Pax, Annie Collinge, Total Emotional Awareness, and Z_Captures.
So we resume this this creative journey with Z_Captures’ video-story:
Z_Captures (Zeren Badar) is a self-taught conceptual artist who lives currently in New Orleans and New York City. He is originally from Turkey. He is hugely influenced by neo-dada and dada. He explores a peculiar combination of photography, painting, and collage. In many ways, he examines a new type of still life.
His works have been exhibited internationally, including in the Aperture Foundation, New York; The Center for Fine Art Photography, Fort Collins, CO; Aljira Center of Contemporary Art, NJ; Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans.
Z_Captures sets the universe of the DeVain in bold contrast with everyday pop objects, creating striking visual collisions. His work fuses fantasy and pop culture, shaping a language built on strong dualities and unexpected juxtapositions.
