120 images, 2018
Merve Ünsal, 120 Images, 2018. Lecture-performance on February 16, 2018 at riverrun, Istanbul.
As a selection of 120 images looped in the background, I discussed my ongoing research on pain and its hosting bodies, touching on visuality and visualness, distance, and representation. The lecture-performance was a culmination of my research at a residency on Fogo Island, November 2017. I used a reverse lecture format, asking questions at the beginning of the talk to delve further into how I was beginning to articulate responses to these questions.
