Gomboc in Space

Onur Sekmen

“Gomboc in Space” is created through a call and response technique formed between Gökçe Göbüt, Neslihan Yakut and Onur Sekmen. Visuals from Göbüt’s art game “Quasicritical ” and Yakut’s text “the Space” are brought together by Sekmen in a media form to explore the relation between body and space, using the form Gomboc as the body in an extraordinary space. The mobility of this body within the space and the structural stance against it forms the main line of questioning.
