og’s Tears
2023
The exhibition Dog’s Tears refers to power relations accompanying dynamic interpersonal or interspecies attitudes. Erdemir connects figurative drawing practice with autofictional stories, which subsequently appear in site-specific installations. In the drawings, we can recognize non-human entities that together bring about situations creating interspecies communication tensions in everyday lives.
A blue light on the face in the middle of the darkness. The need for constant control. The desire to be somewhere, but nowhere. The idea of falling deeply into the imaginary boundaries of hatching organisms. Unable to really keep any secrets, even their own are a burden. What determines the power of a secret? Maybe that it it not your own but someone else’s secret. How much is it worth to keep a „big secret“? And maybe, in the end, all these big secrets are not that important.
