Kartal/Soğanlık – Eda Gecikmez

Roaming the streets starting out memories.

The Terror of Reality is a term, that was developed by a group of artists in Turkey calling

thenselves “Periferi”. Periferi feels a closeness to the Situationists International, a

leftist avantgard art movement of the 1960th. Environment, urbanism, social rsistance

and the active fight against a capitalist “psychogram” of society were some of their main

topics.

The Austrian artist shows Transformed posters of Turkish Sex movies from the 1970th. She covered most of the original poster surface with red colour and added slogans of the international Occupy movement.

The actresses are suddenly transformed from their role as sexual ojects. They get real actors as new heroes of a political movement claiming equality and freedom. Occupy!
