SPACIES-HUMAN: BABIES OF BIO-POLITICS
"Examining Gonca Sezer’s works, we can easily see the examples of the political economy that Foucault though ‘spacies-human’Gonca Sezer’s concern is, asking questions about how life is reproduced economically and genetically by the power.
How does the control is articulated with the individualised power? It seems that in Gonca Sezer’s photograph and desings, the endevour is to present the image of how individuality existing, born babies are unfilied almost being packeged and how these packaged are made undifferentiated uniforms of future soldiers genereted by power.
These last Works of Gonca Sezer show that although she come from painture tradition, she reaches other media, instruments, and materials; however it is seen that, with her designs, she stil adds components of painting without assigning a hierarchy concern to any of this media. Contemporary language considers these media at the same time and rejects an evolutionary transitition." Ali Akay 2004
