Video Takeover: Borna Sammak's "Best Buy"

Video Takeover:
Borna Sammak's "Best Buy"

Borna Sammak's debut solo show "Best Buy" took place last night for an exclusive two hour stint in the Soho location of electronics mega-retailer Best Buy. Thirteen of his vibrant and hallucinogenic high-definition "video paintings" were displayed on every single television on the lower level floor, making for an incredible (and gloriously surreal) sight. I snapped a few photos of the installation, below. To read the full backstory behind the show, check this interview with Borna Sammak and curator Thomas McDonell, conducted by artist Kari Altmann.

Finde Ihre Arbeiten sehr ansprechend und ausdrucksstark! Bin selbst in diesem Bereich aktiv. Wurde mir gerne mal was von Ihnen im Original ansehen. Lassen Sie doch mal was von sich horen. Weiterhin viel Erfolg und schone Gruse aus Munchen!
Die Bilder, die Gestaltung der Seite, [url]ddl4ul.ddl.cx[/url] als auch der Blog einfach toll. Man sieht es ist ein Mensch dahinter, der weis wie er begann.
Viel Gluck und Erfolg fur Sie und Ihre Familie.
