Nezaket Ekici
Nezaket Ekici's performances are intensive and task oriented, combining energy and humour as well as moments of pain and physical endurance. The nucleus of each performance is a task, such as chiselling out of a clay cast, chewing coloured gum until there is enough to create an image of the American flag, or kissing a wall until it is full of lipstick, which the artist endeavours to repeat until her goal is achieved or she reaches a level of complete exhaustion. While each performance is pre-planned, factors outside the artist's control effect its realisation, creating a sense of risk and potential failure.
