It is not easy to destroy a sculpture that is 2,000 to 3,000 years old. When you go to a museum and look at a 3,000 years old Greek sculpture, for instance, you imagine the person who created that work of art. Even though the sculptor is no longer with us, the sculpture still exists. Te spirit of the person remains inside the sculpture. When you destroy the sculpture, you simultaneously are destroying the spirit of the person who made it. You are destroying a civilization built around this artist and also the gap of time between this sculptor and you. You lose the value of time, beauty, and most importantly, humanity.
AAN: Part archival, part documentary, your series looks at a very primal, wild instinct. How do you steer this towards addressing the intricacies of the human condition?
SKA: Te human condition is very complex and there is no one clear image that represents it. Tere is no black or white. In our life, there are multiple mechanisms that work through and around us. Tese mechanisms enable us to create our thoughts, actions, and choices. However, we can find our way around understanding this condition through the use of ideas, images, and concepts to examine these complex relationships between all these conditions. If you look at the animated work in the I am the Hunter… I am the Prey series, maybe you will feel this because it is very fast and multi- layered, in an attempt to divulge the human condition. We can also look at these complicated layers by using concepts. Disciplines such as art and philosophy try to seek answers for such questions that are the heart of our human existence.
