EXPERIMENTAL VIDEOS

 

 

Over the years, I've made several experimental abstract videos. They are mostly silent and best experienced in a screening room. 

In Eytan Ipeker’s austere "Cloud", a sea of pixilated black and white shapes gives way to fuzziness and then suggestive pulsing curves, as if biological forms were starting to emerge.

- Fred Camper (Chicago Reader)

“Science Lab” is a visual compendium of experimental techniques, all uncannily mined from footage of the filmmaker's piano keys.

- TIFF Program Notes

"Peeling" bears patches of color on pitch black, like brush strokes that never quite add up. (...) The object behind this abstraction, a piano, is missing both visually and aurally. İpeker’s dark and silent room gives a sense of meditative calmness among the other works that depend predominantly on material culture and objects.

- Lara Fresco, curator
