Acik Yapit- Openworks

Overview

OpenWork is a performative and theatrical exhibition of transitions.Winner of the ‘Public Medal’ at this year’s London Design Biennale, the installation focuses on the rigidity that we call the ‘world’. With corners and walls, it highlights the perceptions that squeeze human beings into a concrete mentality.

‘Açık Yapıt,’ revolving around metaphors of thresholds and transformations, is a performative space that
presents theatrical transitions. It focuses on the meanings of power, boundary-setting, and the
representation of social hierarchies throughout human history. With its movable and sonorous surfaces,
which function like an instrument, the artwork interacts with visitors, transforming them into part of the
installation.

‘Açık Yapıt’ offers an experiential journey through perception and matter, basing its foundations on the
concepts of doors, passages, and thresholds. Instead of becoming a fixed form, it avoids the creation of
walls or corridors, emphasizing the representation of an open encounter. Established forms throughout
human history are discussed within the context of ‘Açık Yapıt,’ engaging in dialogue with visitors.
