Focusing on personal archives that derive from text, sounds and movements, AKS creates an immersive installation of a multi- layered collage of narrations. Their artistic methodology responds to each other’s work and expands on each other’s space of imagination. For Beyond Home, they specifically focus on the limbo situation of migration. The words and sentences of AKS can be linked and contradicted with the exhibition’s own propositions from time to time. In their artistic construction, sounds and movements are woven into each other, fragmented and dispersed. There is an emphasis on the challenges to express oneself in the context of a different geography. Adding layers to the installation by using semi-transparent elements such as curtains and projection screens, allows the viewer multiple perspectives.
AKS’s ((Selda Asal with Gizem Akman, Gizem Aksu, Melika Akbari aka likabari, Nour Sokhon, Seda Mimaroğlu) artistic productions are based on bringing together micro- stories of women* through dance, poetry, music, and new media. AKS is a collaboratively conceived and produced audio-visual performance by contemporary artists from Iran, Lebanon and Turkey’s diaspora living in Berlin with diverse backgrounds. AKS’s work is in the form of multidisciplinary installations to create a new narrative by connecting individual and personal stories. This structure consists of a series of performance- oriented videos, linked together by a musical composition that combines voices, whispers, atonal melodies, and electronic music.
Text, voice and movement contributions by Nour Sokhon, Gizem Akman, Melika Akbari aka likabari, Gizem Aksu, and Seda Mimaroğlu.
Videography and editing by Selda Asal

The work was recently displayed in a group show, “Beyond Home: A Feminist Deconstruction” at Kunstraum Kreuzberg Bethanien.
