Göksu Kunak’s new performance / installation at Sophiensæle is based on the Susurluk scandal, a notorious car crash in Turkey in the 1990s that led to the discovery of criminal links between state institutions, the drug mafia and deep state relations. Kunak reflects on the policy of concealing and erasing and uses the accident as a metaphor for a corrupted patriarchal, political system. “Innocence” is an attempt of a genealogy of corruption and the effects of western imperialism on the country and the Middle East.
