8938th song: with Nil Yalter (2024)
PERFORMANCE, 30 min
8938th song: With Nil Yalter is a performance piece that revolves around an intricately curated playlist, comprising conversations recorded with Nil Yalter. These recordings span across various moments, encapsulating voices that have resonated through years. They are snapshots of travel, collaboration, and cohabitation, capturing voices that comment, contradict, rectify. These voices delve into their personal perspectives on art, solidarity, feminism, love in diverse forms, companionships, citizenships, and the concept of home. All of these have obviously to do with the experience of time, the language and the recollection in a transgenerational perspective.
Melis Tezkan’s previous works, such as the text
Chez moi and the video
with Nil, offer glimpses into her relationship with Nil Yalter. This interest in friendship, solidarity, proximity, and the art of disagreement and discussion forms again the core of her new work.
