Self in Transit

A site specific light and text installation by TuÄŸba Tirpan, curated by Mustafa BoÄŸa.

Cable Depot

The exhibition is looking at the ways in which we operate where matters of the mind are still a taboo and how language relates to it.

Language is a tool for communication but it can also be unobtrusively oppressive under social norms and social constructs of the time.

Self in Transit explores where language can operate within a framework of power, institutions and control.

Sometimes we need to look at things in a ‘different light’. This can enable us to see what might be going on under the facade of daily language and free ourselves from our predefined and sometimes self-imposed limits. 

 

This intimate and personal work exposes the artist’s own psyche unfiltered as an emancipatory mediatary using language as a subversive tool. This work explores; self policing, shame, cultural hegemony, individualism, psycho-politics, self-exploitation, the myth of *mental health* and other such issues experienced within our neoliberal societies.
