Muscular Theology, ongoing A.I. project of Istanbul based Cihan Bacak, reflects not only an aesthetically and homoerotically charged universe created through artificial intelligence, but also serves as a visual diary of him. Combining his observations from the gym with his background in fashion and art photography, Bacak starts each frame with inspiration from a different song, drawing from his visual influences of the time and constructing an alternative AI-based narrative for himself. This narrative extends from exhibitions to social media, from internationally-based digital and print publications to festivals including 212 Photography Istanbul 2023, Crush Fanzine (Paris), The Blueprint (Moscow), Sanayi 313 (Istanbul) to name a few. New chapter to be exhibited in Berlin, Kurfürstendamm this summer.
