I read the interview with you, and it interested me, because although I found your project genuine, I didn't have an idea as to what kind of a person you are except for the comments by N.D. In conclusion, I might say that I still think you are genuine. But I'm not a mirror of yours, and the fact that I believe your genuineness will not prejudice my right to question your project. I prefer not to be a part of this hideous dialectic. And our natural situation makes it impossible. Naturally, if we consider that an event of art will unleash its owner the moment it is held, will be liberated -and I do- I think it will not be wrong for me to join it with a humble comment.

I MUST CONFESS I ALWAYS FOUND THE MIRROR IMAGE ATTRACTIVE, AND AT THE SAME TIME FRIGHTENING...I AND MUST TELL THAT I ALWAYS RESPONDED TO THE FRIGHTENING MIRROR WITH ANOTHER FRIGHTENING IMAGE, 'SHOUT'. I mean, unlike you, I never preferred to play with the mirrors. Although you say that your event of art was never pre-designed, you should admit that it is a game whose rules set by you, and that even the players of that game stand on slippery ground. In fact, most of the time we live in a world containing no ground at all, let alone a slippery ground. PLAYERS OF THIS GAME: me and them (i.e. all other people)...me and the other (i.e. those not being just them)...subjects and objects (i.e. those who manage to be subjects at the end of dialectics...The game is played by those players, so why on earth you would want to join it??!!! Is it your wish to play God?? Or is it your wish to be fake???
If you stand inside it, you are fake; if you look at it from the outside, you are God. But at the end of the day, you exist as 'self'...Because every rational design must have a 'self' in its center. Self is the perfect subject of all kinds of things created by the human mind, just like it is the hopeless object of all kinds of things created by the human mind. Because of this disgusting dialectic, the world is full of the remains of decayed people...A radical collapse.

YOU!!! The most artistic types history ever witnessed, masters of make-up, master actors of the role of good guys, attractive people, champions of diction, crafty business dealers, those spending their free times in the best manner, time eaters...the haphazardness and shallowness you adore is so deep that it lies beyond your imagination. You are victims sacrificed to these godless times, I mean you are killed. Why do you want to play such games while a fundamental choice like 'existence' is available??!! Why do you plunge into the flies swarming the market place??!!!

Dear HAKAN AKÇURA... Is living your life boring for you now? :))))
I invite you to a fundamental action: SHOUT...

I think you read that mirror story by Borges. He describes that different world inside the mirror. It is such a world that we know it very well as much as we never know it.... Borges says one day the magic spell will break and those trapped inside the mirror will be liberated. I think what will break that spell is SHOUT. If you want to have a really good time and meet those trapped inside the mirrors in a fundamental way, just SHOUT...
