This object, traveling from Istanbul to Berlin, was created based on the artist's life in Istanbul's Manifactures' Bazaar, where her studio is located. Completely demounted and fitting into a bag, this panel was produced by the artist himself as a DIY project.
In the first left section of the panel, we encounter a painting featuring the image of an oyster, which the artist has depicted before. Oysters also build their own homes. The artist shows that this oyster image is on a linen fabric. Always trying to emphasize that the painting is also an object, the artist I.M.Ç. uses linen, one of the fabrics he is familiar with, to offer the viewer a transition between illusion and material in the painting.
In the first panel, this image is accompanied by two objects belonging to two different artists. These objects are two pieces from the works of artists participating in the exhibition at non.sight. The artist, who used this space as both a home, a studio, and a project area for two years in non.sight, an independent art space run with their partner, has gained considerable experience with the dichotomy of interior-exterior and private-public spaces, and perhaps this panel is a reflection of that experience.
The middle panel was created inspired by the clothing racks commonly found in ready-to-wear stores in Block 5 of the I.M.C. Various fabrics taken from Block 1 and its surroundings were sewn onto or hung on the designed hangers. The artist also imagined these as wearable paintings or sculptures.
