Performance for the event "A Little Bit of History Repeated", Kunst Werke, Berlin 16-18.11.2001
Presented also at: "No-Place", Ifa-Galerie Bonn 2002
In cooperation with Tania Bruguera (Cuba)

The performance "Berlin Vision" arose in imitation of the performance "Body of Silence" by Tania Bruguera. More specifically, it was a translation of the original work, which relates to Cuba, into a German-Turkish work. In the performance "Body of Silence", Tania Bruguera sits in a room, the walls of which are covered in meat. She makes notes in a book on her feelings about Cuban history. Finally, she licks the notes as an attempt to internalise or spiritualise the political situation in Cuba. Nezaket Ekici's translation of Bruguera's work in the performance "Berlin Vision" takes issue with thoughts on her personal Turkish and German worlds. The artist herself is an exhibit, a living sculpture, her whole body wrapped in meat. Her thoughts are legible, written on the meat with food colouring.
