DESCRIPTION

In 2021, GATE was part of Nohlab’s solo experiential exhibition ‘FLOW’ held at AKM ISTANBUL from October 29 to November 14. 
                
Bringing light-sound-motion-space together, the installation weaves AKM’s place in Turkey’s cultural memory, its current rejuvenation, and our collective future into an immersive experience in 3 parts. 
                
At the entrance, a GATE formed by light rods invites people in the Beyoglu Culture Road with a special light and sound choreography. In addition to recordings from PAST performances in AKM, music and colors are used as symbolic representatives of AKM’s place in Turkey’s cultural memory. This way, the fragments about this iconic building come together to create an experiential journey in AKM’s memory.
