“Intimations is a sculptural instrument installed in the airshaft of the building adjacent to the exhibition space. Through the vibrations of plastic materials, this faulty instrument located in the airshaft, a porous and binding space at the core of the building, conveys a sound collage that mixes and mashes the speculative histories of Kazancı Yokuşu Street and its environs. The temporary assembly of discarded and second-hand objects embodying the work aims to explore cognitive and sensory possibilities opened up by such infrastructures and situations in a rough yet direct manner, in accord with the nature of objects.”- excerpted from the text for Intimations penned by the AVTO team.
