During this open studio, Ilayda Tunca launches a self-published artist's book. Describing the story of Jack and the magic bean, this story questions the relevance between sensitivities and contradictions by comparing the limits of the stories.
Ilayda Tunca is a transdisciplinary artist based in Turkey and Executive Director of the independent artistic initiative Sub.
"It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here" (Eliza Cassan, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, action video game on the theme of cyberpunk)
"After the revolution, who will pick up the garbage on Monday morning?" (Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Manifesto For Maintenance Art, 1969)
These two quotes from Ilayda Tunca express the urgency and idea of accelerated ecology to address an unsustainable global development crisis that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Faced with the major changes needed, which can be difficult to integrate into daily life, Ilayda Tunca focuses her attention on an "imminent disaster". She breaks the process into pieces and reflects on the political and aesthetic issues surrounding energy and food.

Ilayda Tunca (Turkey) is in residence at the Cité internationale des arts through the partner programm Be Mobile Create Together.
