Art.hro.poda: pul pul dökmek was presented as four interactive street performances in Istanbul as part of the Project Mind the Gap Exhibition. In each Art.hro.poda: pul pul dökmek performance, she exfoliated her outer layer, refashioned it into a resting pod and vacated it temporarily as an offering to the public space. The performances include both Art.hro.poda's exfoliation and the public's engagement with the vacated pods.

Inspired by the adaptive features developed by arthropods over thousands of years, Art.hro.poda relies on a multilayered, modular suit that morphs, detaches and reconfigures as she moves from one environment to the next. 

Project Mind the Gap was curated by Alexia Mellor and co-organized with Michelle Dunn. Photos by Kubilay Mert Ural and Michelle Dunn.
