Mızıkcısın Sen — Lütfullah Genç

“MIZIKÇISIN SEN” SERIES

LÜTFÜ X IMECE

SOLO EXHIBITION @ PERA

The duck grew tired of being a plastic duck and sought out amusement. It searched, found, completed, and destroyed. It missed the fine line between amusement and destruction. It burned and demolished. It took pleasure from this. But now, there is no one left to play with it. Those who used to play with it are inside the plate.

Was this a game?

The duck is giving a balcony speech here.

Duck: I messed up.

Lütfü: You messed up big time. Now nobody will play with you. What's the state of this place? Did you want to drive me crazy?

Duck: Lütfü, you get worked up over everything. Will you play with me?

Lütfü: I won't play with you. I won't play with you ever again. What do you know about games? You've eaten my family. You've also changed the pictures on the wall. Did you cover up your mess with a yellow kitchen towel?

Duck: I just wanted to play.

Lütfü: Go play outside!

Duck: Watch your step, Lütfü. I'll get you too.

Lütfü: Whiner! I won't play with you ever again. You're a whiner!

Duck: Whiner? Well, I won't play with you ever again! Okay. I'm a whiner.

Ceramic pieces were placed on the exhibition floor and covered with a giant yellow kitchen towel. Spectators walked on the floor, breaking and shaping the surface.
