Zeynep Kayan : one one two one two three

Catalogue accompagnying Zeynep Kayan’s solo exhibition, comprises videos and stills presented both individually and in series. Over the years, the artist often referenced dance choreographies, for example, the performance Accumulation by Trisha Brown, which the choreographer described as: “One simple gesture is presented. This gesture is repeated until it is thoroughly integrated into my kinesthetic system. Gesture two is then added. Gestures one and two are repeated until they are assimilated, then gesture three is added. I continue adding gestures until my system can support no further additions.” The title of the exhibition is in step with this rhythm of repeat and variation: one one two one two three.
