“Lace and Solitude”
2023, Performance/Exhibition, Istanbul
The performance titled "Lace and Solitude" consisted of a composition that lasted between 15-17 minutes, aiming to create an emotional experience. The composition included drones, which accompanied unexpected noises and sound movements. These elements were performed without the performer looking at the instrument during the performance. The performer lay on her back under a lace and placed the instrument on her abdomen, emphasizing both bodily expression and the narrative of musical expression. Throughout the performance, the sounds were accompanied by hand touches, with the performer gazing at the ceiling. The venue atmosphere allowed the audience to freely move and interact. They had the option to walk around the performer, sit down, or find a spot to observe the performance from above. The purpose of this performance was to provide the audience with an opportunity to experience the feelings of silence and loneliness within a house, from the artist's perspective, and to share these emotions through sound and bodily expressions.
