Target – Estonia – Tallinn | 2012
The performance “Target” was made in Tallinn, Estonia. It was made in front of the Estonian Parliament in town where there is a compass on the ground. With this performance, Seyitvan wanted to question the contradiction between the north and the south on a social, political, and economical level. While the north refers to wealth and democracy, the south always implies to wars, poverty, and struggle. Whereas the artist here targetted the south where civilization began. In the same way in Turkey, the south implies oil and trade but also the war. Therefore people always wanted to go down to the south to occupy. This performance shows the south as a targetted point.
