Portrait of the Artist as the Young Man: (After James Joyce)

This book "Portrait of the Artist as the Young Man" is an experimental novel by contemporary artist Genco Gulan. To create this visual text, Gulan used James Joyce's piece; "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", 1914-1915. Almost after a century, Gulan, after Joyce, in 2013, re-wrote the text using online and offline digital software and created, this, what we may call, a new media art piece. While appropriating the literary material genco Gulan, whose name can be translated directly from Turkish to English as Young Man- played with the concept of translation and its impossibility, with reference to Umberto Eco. Final product, this book, as an object, should also be considered as an edition of a contemporary art piece and or a self portrait.
