Comprising a wide
spectrum of material from the National Anthem, Nutuk by the founding
leader of the nation, Yeşilçam melodramas, from cheat cheats to Youtube
self-help videos my works traverse public and private manifestations of
various forms of subordination, and problematize the technologies of
power. The works invert the social functions of materials through
deformation, contextual detachment and categorization of ordinary texts
and images. Rather than creating an instance of enlightenment, the
novel perspective offered by this method exposes the spectator to a
state of temporary perplexity, disorientation and non-identification.
Therefore, aims to open a critical space by combining power mechanisms
that seem independent from each other such as; nationalism, patriarchy,
knowledge and power.
