COnscription: an exhibition
COnscription is a multimedia installation by artist Caglar Kimyoncu, inspired by stories from Turkey exploring the call-up to military service for people who don't 'fit the mould'
- What constitutes 'fitness' or 'suitability'?
- What philosophies or beliefs are seen as valid?
- How are judgements applied?
- How do they impact on society and an individual's life, choices, freedoms and wellbeing?
A four-channel film will follow the stories of four individuals - a doctor, and three subjects under assessment at a military hospital.Their characters and stories emerge through the imposed community of the hospital setting.
