This live performance by Ece Batur reflects on cycles of exhaustion, erasure, and endurance within systems of control. Through repeated gestures of collapse and stillness, the artist embodies the tension between inner resistance and external restraint. The work draws from personal memory and cultural weight, presenting the body not as a site of power, but as one persistently caught in the act of undoing. Fragile yet unyielding, the performance reveals the quiet strength of staying present within destruction.
