'House of My Dreams' or ‘The Shepherd‘
"Everyone has a house with golden windows, a house that is desired, but which loses its dream-like features and golden windows once it is a house." Based on different interpretations of 'home' this collective exhibition features a video installation by Bager Akbay as well as works by Eleni Zervou, Gökçe Baturay, Malte Brandenburg, Moritz Haas, Ömer Tevfik Erten, Sibel Adakçı, Zeynep Erol and Zeynep Haas. 

The creation of the exhibition is planned as it could be controlled by an artificial intelligence but almost all the decisions were made by human.

The exhibition is made by a number of people who had no idea about the exhibition. At first, some were asked to create a plan for a generic exhibition. Those plans were reviewed by counselors and were executed afterwards. The people were asked to create more human resources, and the whole team was expanded to 35 members.

Texts like the manifestation and the application form were written by the crew. In addition to that, call for applications, selection of applications, communication with artists, planning and installation were made by the same crew.

30 artist from different countries have applied for the exhibition, and accepted artworks are exhibited. All those process happened with almost no interference.
Until the production the crew had no contact to each other, all the communication happened through a fictional character named “Sabiha Akman”.
