what’s the crime of the tail

installation, 2018

The installation, entitled “What is the crime of the tail? / Kuyruğun suçu ne?”, the artist opens up a discussion on the tail, which supposedly separates humans from animals or our wild instincts. Because metaphorically tail has become a word, which all the demonic wild features are attributed to, in a way helps in contemplating on the construction of humanness, Eldek prompt the viewer to think about this lost organ.
