KAYBID, SILENT STEPS, AND STREET ART
Kaybid produces interdisciplinary works by focusing on street art and animation. Video, animated gif, traditional painting and collage are among the basic disciplines.
Kaybid, who uses traditional methods and new media together, examines the transition between these two in his works; In the Silent Steps series, he examines topics such as vitality and movement, being and existence, the city, urbanization and extinction, isolation and existence ethics, Diminished Value (the translated name origin of Kaybid) and value attribution.

The project ongoing for over four years and nearly 400 individual unique collages created from 30 different species were created and placed to the streets. All my collage works are original and unique. None of them are copies, prints, or stickers. That is all organic. I make them with traditional methods.
The animal images not only bring about an immediate reaction of compassion, but also due their ubiquity, archaicness and approachability exist beyond all norms and biases. Every single frame of the movement of the animals is created individually, and makes up the cohesive walking animation when watched back to back thus bringing motion and life to the image of the animal.
The singular animals that are installed on the walls are actually each a single moment of continuous inertia. The passer-by on the street does not only see “an animal”, but also gets to witness “a moment”.
