Petition (2026)
Positioned directly opposite the exhibition space, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey stands as the absolute center of bureaucracy and the administrative apparatus. The artist transcribes the sounds of invisible animate and inanimate actors affected by large-scale construction projects that impact vast ecosystems, sending these transcriptions to the Parliament as official petitions. The returned response of "Not Understood" from the Parliament not only exposes the limits of the anthropocentric system, but also emphasizes the one-sided and undefined nature of the relationship established with non-human entities, highlighting their absolute exclusion from the institutional plane of meaning.
