Warm Earth Sounds for Plants and the People Who Love Them continues with Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoğlu’s installation titled I wonder how my homeland fares.
The installation draws its title from the lyrics of a folk song by Karacaoğlan, as described in Yaşar Kemal’s Üç Anadolu Efsanesi [Three Anatolian Legends]. Hatipoğlu parallels her own migration journey with the displacement of potted plants and forms a composition based on their transfer from various lands to the Winter Garden, underscoring intuitive communication and sensory experience.
