Borna Sammak — Hope for Men
Borna Sammak

Hope for Men

2013

A looping video plays across two televisions connected by extension cords, their tangled wiring left deliberately exposed as part of the composition. Sammak's installation embraces the raw, unglamorous infrastructure of consumer electronics, allowing the mundane hardware to become as much a part of the work as the moving image itself. The piece occupies a space between domestic familiarity and quiet unease, inviting viewers to consider the relationships between technology, masculinity, and the ever-cycling nature of hope.
