BACKTOPOINTS
When we want to take the burden from Sisyphus' back in a way that reminds us of his punishment, butterflies appear before us, flapping their wings for freedom and their very near death. The butterflies seem to share in the tons of Sisyphus' burden when they break Sisyphus from the burden of thousands of years piece by piece in which he is imprisoned and fly to their own freedom. So what is a Butterfly but the sad breath of Sisyphus?
Backtopoints is an artist duo founded by brothers Zafer and Tuna Topaloğlu. Before forming the Duo, Zafer was a practicing video artist who is active at the international video/film arts scene, and exhibited at many international festivals such as European Media Art Festival, Darklight Film Festival, Videobrasil, Videomedeja, Videoformes, India Art Fair, Room Art Fair, Les Instant Video Art Festival, Art Bengaluru Fair among others while Tuna was working on his own video game. Their passion for being and working together brought them together and they started the duo. They work on a practice that transports the audience to a space where they could meet an understanding of beauty beyond the visible world by using particle, fluid, smoke and rigid body simulations and combining these with 3d modeling operations in their works. Aside from many NFT platforms, such as Nifty Gateway, Foundation, Knownorigin and Makersplace among athers, Backtopoints has recently exhibited at the Muze Gazhane, EmaarArtHub İstanbul, Turkey's Innovation Week and completed a commisioned NFT work for the international marketing agency YKONE.
