“Don’t Prescribe Me!” exhibition, which will take place just for ‘one’
day, is an alternative project in terms of both the way it will be
carried out and its social content. My fourth solo exhibition,
comprising photographs, installations and a video-art, will take
place in my studio. Thus, I aim this event to insinuate the
dominations of the operations of false art management.
“Don’t Prescribe Me!” exhibition, aims to emphasize others’
‘prescriptions’ for us, in other words, the political and social
constructions, by reminding particularly true and natural
representation of traditional head scarf yazma. Getting accustomed
to these ‘prescriptions’ makes us submissive. However, yazma,
which was formed by the simplicity and naturalness of centuries
old understandings from which Anatolia nourished, lives in great
harmony with the nudity of body. As a part of Anatolian people’s
practical and natural-daily life, traditional headscarf yazma
correlates with nudity’s simplicity and the plainness of the lands,
rocks and trees from which it nourishes. With the accompaniment of
this nourishment, body makes yazma prolific. With the alternative
atmosphere this exhibition intends to create, it aims to be a
reminder of Anatolia’s naturalness and prolificacy of its cognitivity
unleashed from ‘prescriptions’ or before it was ‘prescribed.’
