“——————”
“————–” superimposes two fundamentally different environments with unlike functions on top of each other. Kadirbeyoğlu modifies the physical conditions of the exhibition space by covering the concrete floor with a soft pink layer. Like walking on a running track – steps bounce off the floor, sounds are absorbed and concentration is directed inward to one’s own body. Markings on the ground indicate the dimensions of a running track, but they have lost their function as landmarks and run against and into walls.
