Pardon, Siz Kimsiniz? is a statement project to be publicly distributed in the form of a
poster/ banner/ sticker/ advert in the midst of the city, aiming to attract and catch the
public/ the citizen and keep direct verbal contact. The statement in Turkish – meaning
“Pardon, who are you?”- addresses the passer-by with a question of identity. Not
defining the subject, the question neutrally positions the reader at a distance; not
giving the answer or positioning anyone. The motive of the project is to raise the
question without proposing an ideal state of being, nor a state of belonging. I neither
attempt to create an ego nor impose an identity as an advert may have done.
