The Hero’s Quest (2020)
Video-Performance with Onur Tayranoğlu
The Hero’s Quest portrays a queer body existing in a queer space and time, moving through multiple versions of themselves in the past, the present, the future, here and there. Once we step outside the myth of heroes who triumph, what sort of non-linear and queer stories can we create, and how can we redefine what a hero is, anyway? How does this change our perception of winning or losing, productivity, progress, and history? Shot against the backdrop of Istanbul's vertical architecture, the work connects these questions with Turkey's aggressive construction policies.
