Winter Garden
Warm Earth Sounds for Plants and the People Who Love Them ends with Fulya Uçanok’s sound installation Plant(ing) Entanglements.
The installation foregrounds an understanding that listening and being listened to are entangled. Focusing on the relational interface between humans and plants, it offers a space to explore the listening and thinking relationships one forms with plants. Incorporating speculative fabulations and questions about the relationship between subject and object, the installation invites visitors to slow down, reflect, and imagine together with the plants in the Winter Garden.
Uçanok will give a talk about the installation and perform live on Friday, February 14 at 19.00. The talk will be held in Turkish.
The program is realized as part of L’Internationale’s Museum of the Commons project and with the support of EK BİÇ YE İÇ.
Fulya Uçanok is a pianist, electroacoustic music composer, and improviser. She studied classical piano performance at the Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory and completed her master’s degree at the Istanbul Technical University Centre for Advanced Studies in Music (ITU MIAM). Uçanok studied the performance practice and socio-sonic connections of the Balinese Gender Wayang tradition in Bali, Indonesia. She received her PhD from the Sonic Arts Department at ITU MIAM, focusing on electroacoustic music composition and performance. She collaborates with cellist Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoğlu in iKKi Duo, an experimental improvisation project combining cello, piano, everyday objects, and electronics. Together with Serkan Sevilgen, she co-founded Soundinit, an initiative that aims to explore various listening practices and bring together people from diverse backgrounds interested in thinking with sound.
