SELF-PORTRAIT...FOR NOW
Fall 2008Gülgün Kayim will direct Self-Portrait...for now, an eight-character site-specific performance installation about memory and identity. Mining her own history as a Turkish Cypriot forced to immigrate to the United Kingdom due to violence at home, Kayim will also draw on interviews with members of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot Diaspora while creating this piece.
Self-Portrait...for now is the third in a series of installations by Kayim that are both explicitly formal in the way they respond to their locations and imbued with a deep sense of history and political currency and dislocation. When complete, Self Portrait...for now will be presented along with her two preceding works as a trilogy of site-specific performance installations.
