Edited by Erim Serifoglu. CIN, a new work by Cevdet Erek, was presented in the Pavilion of Turkey at the 57th Venice Biennale, from May 13 through November 26, 2017. About his new work Cevdet Erek said: "Instead of trying to describe a work that is meant to be experienced on-site, and is still in the phase of formation, I propose to imagine a scene together as an exercise: there is a fenced ruin in the distance with a guard inside of it who should not leave during the day. The guard, while walking in silence, notices a visitor who carefully peeks around and the concert of thousands of crickets thanks to the visitor. This duo who try to talk to each other at a distance, briefly cry out at the same time from the ear pain caused by a violent noise that occurs out of the blue. Then, at night, in another place as the guard tries to suppress the ringing in her ears by opening the window two fingerbreadths and the noise a notch, enters an alarm sound: 'viyuviyuviyuviyu.' Then she tries to imagine again in the same order by going back to the beginning.".
