This exhibition is an alternative project in terms of both the way it has been carried out and its content. My fourth solo exhibition, comprising photographs, installations and a video, took place in my studio just for ‘one’ day. Thus, I wanted to insinuate the dominations of the operations of false art management. Exhibition aims to emphasize others’ ‘prescriptions’ for us: In other words, the political and social constructions, by reminding particularly the truth 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.’
