WORKS—
David (inspired by Michelangelo)
“[Ozkayaʼs] David is essentially neither his nor Michelangeloʼs. Instead, the statue becomes part of two collective processes: first, collective memory, the intersubjective process that accumulates infinite images of the same art object; and second, digital fabrication, the computer program that allows all surfaces of a three dimensional object to be reproduced in minute detail. Ozkayaʼs statue after Michelangelo is essentially a double fabric, as its own skin originates in material as well as cultural fabrication.” Spyros Papapetros, Double

“The spectacularly worst was Serkan Ozkaya's thirty-foot-tall golden replica of Michelangelo's David, which fell over upon installation and broke into pieces.” T.J.Demos, Artforum
