He has also produced live work, recently staging a play written by the notorious terrorist 'Unabomber' Theodore Kaczynski. Setting up austere encryptions of 'scenes' and subcultures, such as skateboarding, graffiti, tatooing and punk rock, the artist's practice is a precarious questioning of what is excluded and what can be delimited as a consumable in culture. The works shown in Extraordinary Rendition – cheaply printed photographs that are pinned to the wall – record improvised barriers, security blockades and urban obstructions that appeared on the streets of Istanbul in the wake of the November 2003 terrorist bombings. Deceptively unexceptional and obstinate, the photographs process a theatre of violence with global infamy in relation to its municipal reality and its everyday aesthetic.  >We'll Make The World You Live, 2005 Series of twelve black and white photographs on paper, 84 x 59 cm, edition: 5+1 AP Courtesy Team (gallery, inc.), New York |
