performance with D.J. Sven Drühl- The Arty, Show Window, Room for Art, Berlin, April 26, 2019

Nezaket Ekici is not a dancer and has no dance training: she loves to dance with all her heart. As a child she always wanted to become a ballet dancer, but was not allowed to. She says her first "... performance was in the disco..." when she was 18 years old. She was brave, confident and without shame. At that time she thought that her body was the medium she would work with in the future. Movement and dance are her temperament and it is in her blood. Not least because of this she decided to study fine arts and performance art. Being an artist and especially a performance artist is not a profession for her, but rather a vocation for her. The empty gallery space with its 4 large shop windows and 4 columns is the place where she will dance. Only a DJ is next to her in the room, who will record live beats. She will claim the whole room for herself and dance until exhaustion. The guests are in front of the gallery and see her from outside through the shop window. The music can not only be heard inside the room, but will also be broadcast to the outside. The artist plans to dance 5 hours, 4 hours alone and the last hour together with the guests. She is interested in movement, joy, physical borders, passion, expression, music and not in a technically perfect dance.
