Is it possible to create a digital experience using only analog methods? “Drop” is an audiovisual experiment using purely organic materials, that challenges the idea of a virtual experience by realizing it using only traditional methods. Here, the viewer is thrown into a sensoric journey that blurs the line between artificial and organic; this dichotomy is further transported through an ambient soundscape.

Everyday materials were used for the project - including soap suds, oil, colours, sand and glitter. These elements were arranged in petri dishes and filmed with a macro lens. Sound speaker boxes were also used to create vibrations that set the grains of sand in motion. This gave the finished video the impression of a living particle animation.
Ömer Mutlu is a visual artist working in diverse multimedia to realize social-cultural and experimental projects.
About
After nearly 15 years in the creative industry, Ömer now dedicates his focus towards an artistic career in constant evolution. He continuously reinvents himself through exploration, refusing to be confined by a single medium, title, or predefined identity.
As an Austrian with Turkish roots, it has always been a matter of great importance for Ömer to empower people of color, namely motivating the younger generations to engage with art and culture and find their voice through creativity. This pursuit led him to found and co-publish two digital media magazines, which celebrate the various contemporary arts and cultures from Berlin to Baghdad.
Ömer's ideas are expressed beyond the camera lens or any tool of choice. The inspiration for his works thrive within urban landscapes as he captures lived experiences. These fleeting moments are raw, unpolished – often brutalist in aesthetic to provoke a message – yet remain deeply intimate.
Ömer approaches his craft with humility and reverence, believing that art, beyond its messages and critiques, can also simply be fun. It is the artistic process, not the result, that matters after all — and he is determined to keep moving.
