The original word “MüstaKILL” defines a structure independent from its surroundings, an emancipated piece. The end of the word has been altered, through a resemblance of letters in Turkish and English, with the addition of the word “kill,” connoting not only killing but also censorship. “MüstaKILL” is a cloth book symbolizing a political structure, attitude and the past, comprised of variations of a classic monumental figure pointing towards the future. The monument indicating an ossified, unchanging structure takes on a different form on each page.
