Meet Summer Sessions resident !🦋
Ceren Sözer is a Rotterdam-based multimedia artist and researcher whose practice focuses on the fragile infrastructures that sustain everyday life. Through speculative storytelling and research-driven experimentation, she deconstructs cultural narratives to explore where meanings become unstable.
During her Summer Sessions residency, Ceren is developing “This is why you are on the very same side as all the evil in the world”, a choice-based game rethinking where oppression is actually manufactured. Starting from the idea that structural injustice is not merely the work of a few evil leaders, the game looks at how systems of oppression are reproduced in daily encounters by millions of others.
Presented as a deconstructed arcade machine, the work confronts players with a series of small conflicts in which every choice is one between self-protection and repair. Each time a player chooses repair, the curtain slowly opens to reveal the research and diagrams the game is built on — allowing the work itself to become vulnerable in return.
See the work in progress during the Summer Sessions Test_Lab at V2_ on 3 & 4 September.
