Fatma Bucak
32 channel sound installation
Investigating the fragility, tension and irreversibility of history, along with the power of testimony and memory, the artist creates a series of enviroments using sound and narrative in this installation Enduring nature of thoughts. Dozens of enamelled basins are accompanied by the constant sound of falling water drops. Through these invisible yet audible leaks, the work plays on the tension between the real and the staged. Experiences and accounts of suffering. loss and marginalisation are at once materialised. This "landscape" becomes the voice of forgotten stories, of the unexpressed thoughts of individuals excluded from history, of political and ethnic minorities, and socio-cultural structures in opposition to power.
