The project is titled ‘’Drone and Ziggurat of UR”. It consists of three parts of related Artwork; A projection Photo, A Three-Minute Movie and a Hologram Installation. Each of these parts is executed in a different medium but they all share digitalization aspect and drawings. The project digital technique is used to enhance the concept. The Concept is based on the idea of a visual and conceptual clash between the Ancient Mesopotamian Ziggurats, with its historical background that goes back to about 6000 BC bonded to its religious, contextual and existential human dimensions, and the Drone, with its reflection of the modern digitalization age and its multi-tasking as a technical devise. The clash between the Drone and the Ziggurat leaves a space to the interpretation of the viewers and perceivers of the Artwork. The project can be perceived as a pure Artwork but there still be a space left for further multilayered meaning embedded in this Artwork. The Demolishing of the Heritage Architectural Work of a Civilization leaves human beings to face the crucial question, that is; “which of the works is real? Is it the Virtual part of life or the Physical Part?” The idea embedded in the project implicates the transcendent of all physical life work into “One Dimension” which reduces and condenses the product of man in One Line/One Dimension concept with infinite and eternal characteristics.
