What pushes me to do this; Since we were born, we lie to us about sexuality. Starting with the 'storks' and equipped with shame and sins coded on gender.
Eroticism and pornography are at the center of their work. It is quite innovative and therefore provocative compared to the country where you grow up and in your country. Can you tell us about this negative and positive return to you?
There is a rejection, ignorance of the environment. As a result, we live in this country, we are under pressure, and the issues I have examined are the subjects that are described as taboo. It reaches the end of this. I have to protect myself because of my production. I am harassed because I produce erotic works. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to be a woman and artist in a country where rights and law are not applied, justice is ignored, especially in a country where women are systematically killed.
Positive return; Stubbornly and fondly to see that the work I do touching people, they open a door in them. When I share my production and research, there are people who are excited to talk and share on the issues I have examined.
What makes you do this? HowL It is a impulse and why eroticism and pornography?
What pushes me to do this; Since we were born, we lie to us about sexuality. Starting with 'storks' and equipped with shame and sins coded on gender, our most basic needs (love, compassion, sex) rightLIt causes us to live or never live. Most of the people are the average rightLI don't think you have a sexual sex life. I think it would be happier and live in peace.
What is your mission?
That sexuality is one of the most natural needs of sex; I'm trying to show that there is something that will not be so afraid. There is a concept called common consent. This is something that should be used in the most basic association. OppositeLPeople can live whatever they want over the confirmation of the gentle, one side becomes a victim and we see examples in the news every day.
Do you think sex weapon?
I think everything is a gun. Sex is a tool and this is looking at our ability to use tools :) sex weapon? Connection to the perspectiveLI; We can make a glass of a glass or something that happens in our daily use. How much is something suppressedLso much exaggerationLand it takes on different shapes.
Can you tell us about your performance work? HowL should we imagine
My performances are usually passively, the audience is more actively solid.LI am fictional. What I aim with this is actually attracting the audience to the field and against that processLWe can experience the granar. For example; In my Tape performance, I entered the performance area with a band with the parcel tape in my Tape performance. He walked around his currency and people came and took out the bands. Everyone took out the bands on me with a different understanding of help. The band is so powerfulLHe was a member and robbed my skin, pity, shouted. However, they continued until it was completely naked and took 6 minutes. What I question in this performance; "Which goodness, whatL it was good. "
You are also doing Shibari briefly, and in this context, what is the surrender for you?
Shibari is the art of Japanese aesthetic binding. Hojojutsu Denile emerged when the ancient martial art entered the Japanese bedroom and evolved in an erotic way. It is the relationship of the surrender with the judge. It is based on common consent; There is Safa Word and no, no. When I went to Japan in 2016, I took my first Shibari lesson and continued to work when I returned. I performed my first performance in 2018 and continued regularly. I was also giving training and sessions. Of course, all my work with Pandema stopped.
Human creationLIt needs to surrender in the light. All kinds of ideology and belief systems serve it. We cling to something, involved and feel safe. The same in the surrender in Shibari. The person notices the area he occupies in the vineyard, the parts he is uncomfortable with and the parts that hurts come, etc. You feel yourself and safe.
What superpower do you think of art?
Time travel, bending time.
Who and why is your superhero?
Flap Jack in Flap Jack :) But the perception of heroism makes me think; why, howL hero? Everyone is actually his own hero, but we expect a savior. To be able to turn into a hero to save ourselves.
What tools do you use to raise awareness?
5 The senses are balanced, ÖLçüLI try to feed carefully. I read, watch life and listen. I feel the life to my buttonhole with good smells. I'm trying to stretch my body, create a gap for my mind, sit in my emotions and observe and weigh it.
What would you be if you were a special day, what would be celebrated all over the world?
I would declare the day of nudity. I wish everyone all over the world and confront their nudity. Festival can be fever, eating, drinking, dance; May it be celebrated like this. If people face nudity even once in society, we would be in a very different place, I'm sure.
What song does he play in the background of his life?
Sometimes Ankara air, sometimes novel air, but mostly without music.
