series of site-specific murals
developed for DEPO, Istanbul (TR)
The aim for the texts in these murals was to make them embody the foggy and slippery nature of languages. As stories are translated, a part of them always remains hanging elusively in the air. Not residing in words, but coating them in haze. The work vibrates through the exhibition space and permeates other works, temporarily settling in the words (a.o.) mumble, mutter, sigh, shadow and breeze. As vapour that escapes from our mouth when we speak them, they are the building matter of crosslinguistic storyworlds.
