Title: Her Düþenin Kanadi Yoktur / Not All That Falls Has Wings
Description: All falls and keeps falling. 0That hasn't changed. This was already the case before Newton came on the scene, before the call of the ground was established as a universal law. It still occurs. They fall, says Lucretius as well ? not about apples, hammers, buildings, or feathers, but particles too small for the eyes to notice their descent and yet capable of great feats; invisible particles leaping downwards as if charging towards their destruction, then swerving a little from their downward trajectory, due to an unknown cause, meeting and colliding, and forming visible bodies. 0In this ground common to things and beings, a movement which knows no boundary on this finite plane, has the power to disturb, if not suspend, the established hierarchies between the living and the inert, the material and the intangible, that which stands vertical and that which does not. In the meantime, the cycle of rise and fall continues to organise the course of history and worldly existence around an inescapable verticality with its two opposite poles. 00Exhibition: Arter space for art, Istanbul, Turkey (09.06.-18.09.2016).
