Abstract

This article was commissioned, by Zilberman Gallery (Istanbul, Turkey & Berlin, Germany) and the artist Erinç Seymen, for his solo show Homo Fragilis which had been on display during 13/9/2017-4/11/2017.
Reviewed by the artist, the gallery curators and the editors of the exhibition monograph, this essay was originally written in English. Both the English original and the Turkish translation was published in this monograph. In line with the commissioning brief, the article provides a critical analysis of Seymen's artworks in Homo Fragilis while also locating the artist's practice within an original theoretical framework informed by the contemporary fields of queer studies and critical affect theory.
