the conceptual description of works;

“To point to the marks that domination durably imprints in bodies and the effects it exerts through them does not mean that one is offering support to that particularly vicious way of ratifying domination.”

The body’s exposure to every kind of domination is the stand against the consent and acceptance with the documentations of communal violence. The manifestation of the official parlance established by the judicial institutions as an image in the ” The Story of Assault” and the imprinting of these bodies on the Body Diagrams represent every kind of formal and intellectual “Violence”.  

It is a heroic act to reveal the scars on bodies exposed to domination and violence by documenting them without fear, instead of hiding them from society. Because this is the heroic remembrance of the truth that has been forgotten or is on the verge of being forgotten.

Because this is the heroic remembering of facts that have been forgotten or are about to be forgotten.
