The 60s and after are a period when art is rewritten with scissors; The artist cuts the scissors that he holds, divides it into pieces, reshapes everything he touches, collects the pieces and cuts whatever ties belonging to the past, and moves the work to a timeless, space-free location.
In this period, the concept of postmodernism started to be used for the first time, and a completely different perspective was brought to the relationship between the artist and the product of art in many areas of art from literature to cinema. According to this understanding, all the sentences to be said are consumed, and everything that is said as new is products created by putting different cases in old sentences or putting together the parts of what has already been said. It’s a piece of art toy, now a game if it’s art.
Traditional bonds, accumulations are put aside, new bonds are created between the parts removed from completely different contexts; because the rules of the game are rewritten each time. Constructed by assembling the bricks of the demolished molds, the structures become both a rejection of the old and a manifesto of the new. As a matter of fact, the New Wave movement, which the French cinema has opened since the beginning of the 60s, has emerged as a reflection of this understanding.
