About the artwork
Ausdruck is a tribute to the raw power of performance art and the human capacity to embody emotions, chaos, and misunderstandings through movement. Across four videos, figures dance and float freely in a black void, creating an intimate yet dark atmosphere.
The series celebrates the expressive potential of the human body, showing how movement can transcend words and convey profound meaning. Through dance and flight, the figures in Ausdruck embody a spectrum of emotions, transforming the void into a canvas of intimate expression.
This work explores the duality of darkness and intimacy, highlighting how our bodies can communicate the inexpressible and bridge the gap between chaos and understanding.

Audio explanation
Listen to Ümüt Yildiz discuss this work.
Ümüt Yildiz is a lecturer of Creative Coding in Design at Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and lives in Cologne and Berlin, where he has been exploring artificial intelligence since 2018. Outside of his teaching, he often collaborates with artists such as Cro, and Bilderbuch and brands such as Bulgari, Tods, and Vogue Italia, testing the limits of current technologies.
He participated as an exhibitor in the NFT Pavilion 2022 Venice Biennale. His work is characterized by themes of humanism and controversy through the use of original production. The intervention of artificial intelligence in the visual material of original production allows an interpretation of reality free from the mechanisms of rationalist self-determination of man, introducing the concept of "memory" of the machine, which does not preserve any experience paradigms or culture inherent in human nature. Visual works are created that catalyze the world of the irrational and the unconscious, where the need to create order is less, leaving room for a more intuitive and ancient vision of the subject.
