Tactics of invisibility. Contemporary artistic positions from Turkey.

Tactics of Invisibility offers a visual and textual introduction to the work of the participating artists, as well as a wider discussion on the aesthetic and political implications of visibility and invisibility within the socio-political context of Turkey and its diasporas. It proposes a slightly provocative take on the regime of the visible in the contemporary condition, in which visibility seems no longer to be a means of emancipation but rather the precondition of a society of control and mediated conformism. The temporary suspension of the representational thus allows a focus on that which is not visible and on the underlying mechanisms within today’s political ecologies.

Text: Ankele Gudrun, Zyman Daniela et al. cm 15×22,5; pp. 220; 60 COL; paperback. Publisher: Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2010.
