The goal is to create an event where the art forms are equal. It is a presentation where the material art is an organic part of the process-based presentation mode.
The happening titled as “Our Home Place” explores the relation of our residential area and our self image. The experience of locality defines our society where subordinate relations prevail. The social interpretation of a person is relative, and the question arises if our residential area defines us or we transform our surroundings. The diversity of time is present in every social sphere and this diversity puts a pressure on our place in the world.
It is an approach through personal experiences, which try to lose their subjectivity and create an objective picture that is understandable to everyone. The recipient adapts it to a personal experience through his own past experiences.
The core of the exhibition is a site-specific installation, reflecting its characteristics through experience in the city. The videos are created from motion research at different locations and complement the drawing in space. The various genres of contemporary art are combined to form a unity, and the chains of movement-limiting clothing give dance a new form.
