Göksu Kunak

In Bygone Innocence, Göksu Kunak presents a multimedia artistic intervention based on the car accident in Susurluk in 1996. Weapons were found in the wreckage. Among the victims: the former chief of the Istanbul police and a member of the Grey Wolves organisation who was sought by Interpol. This constellation uncovered the existence of a controversial criminal network in Turkey. Kunak’s work explores the politics of concealment and interprets the notion of the crash as a fetish – all systems down between drama and soap opera.
