OLASI
OLASI, meaning “probable” in English is an action happening horizontally on a vertical surface. It is an action of forming a text diverting to multiple directions in meaning. The audience and the passers-by witness word plates being installed and branched on a street wall (8 meters length). The text's meaning is altered by each addition of a plate. As for the appearance of the text, in its disappearance by people taking out the words from the wall we witness new readings with its diminution.

The first “Untitled” happened in 2007 Istanbul Galataperform Performance Days in a “dead window” (Untitled_Masking tape, yogurt, label and text). This is another variation of Untitled; a simple, durational action happening in different conditions with the same principles. In this simple action, conveyances between an object-a subject, inside-outside, stillness-movement appear.
