Göksu Kunak: INNOCENCE

The performance is based on the Susurluk scandal, a notorious car crash in Turkey in the 1990s. The supposedly everyday accident led to the discovery of criminal links between state institutions, the drug mafia and deep state relations. In INNOCENCE, Göksu Kunak reflects on the policy of concealing and erasing and explores accident and scandal as phenomena; as a moment in which technology reveals its potentially grave consequences. But also as a moment in which falsities and truths of our constructed reality come to light. INNOCENCE portrays the crash as a moment frozen in time in which relationships are crystallized: a traffic accident as a neutral moment, neither good nor bad, but as dramatic as a soap opera.

The Susurluk scandal as a grey area reveals the inaccuracies of a rigid East-West dichotomy and defies simple conclusions. For Kunak, the car as a fetishized object and the accident are metaphors for both the corrupted patriarchal political system in Turkey and the crash of Turkish modernization. INNOCENCE is an attempt at a genealogy of corruption in the country, the suppression of minorities and also sheds light on the atrocities inflicted by western imperialism upon Turkey and the Middle East.
