The Cage - 2022
Oblivion - 2010
The human animal character which Pınar Yeşilada defines as ‘’quadrupedality’’
and exhibits with the name Nisyan/Oblivion is the hereditary tracking of this conflict on the subject and the body. The work exposes the animalistic nature of the conflict. The artist, who sets forth both to ask and challenge this question, deciphers the bestiality encoded in our skin. In this state of humanity, at the point when violence and paying for its price turns into paying with our bodies, namely at the point when the violence becomes unbearable, the social reflex is to ‘’forget’’.
( From the text by Feyyaz Yaman about Pinar Yeşilada’s exhibition named ‘Nisyan’, May 2010)
DNA - 2007
Human’s inability to look at the disaster, the wreckage as his own unless it happens directly to himself,
His inability to see his destruction in Man’s destruction may be the result of his vision not yet sufficiently freed from the gaze of the egocentric conditionings of his organism. Regarding this situation,
it has been pointed out that man always knows death as the death of others, does not see himself as a finite being, and his relationship with life is based on an escape behavior from death itself.
And isn’t Socrates’ statement that “Philosophy is a rehearsal for death” also a manifestation of a philosophy of life against this escape from organic conditioning with life?
Yeşilada’s figures recalling a defeat and wreckage in human form, evoking a sense of freedom and vitality in people despite everything, seems to explain the hidden meaning of the old saying “Be of the world so that your soul may conquer’’.
The attitude here is the attitude of sensitivity towards life, which does not see death and destruction only in others, but finds and knows the fragility in herself and others.
Pınar’s works confront us with that sensitivity once more.
( From the text by Feyyaz Yaman about Pinar Yeşilada’s exhibition named DNA/Traces, April 2007)
