those was a poster exhibition performed by myself and eight graphics designers,
accompanied by an action plan involving touristic areas of the city like restaurants,
café-bars and the beach (which I can simply call relaxation areas).
The title of the exhibition and action was “Local Power Station Global Cemetery.“ In
January 2006, the news about a nuclear power plant to be built in Sinop -of which
the consequences could cause a large scale environmental disaster- had been
reported in the press. The issue of “central determination” of the destiny of every
small local region had also arisen in Sinop. With our exhibition and action plan, our
aim was to support the public already organized against the nuclear power plant and
to let them know that we were on their side as part of the biennial. We also through
the artworks wanted to warn those who remained indifferent against the fait
accompli developments. Our exhibition took place in the twelfth ward of the second
backyard. The attention was satisfactory. The exhibition included the works of
Ferhad Fouzoni, Amir Ali Ghasemi from Iran, Jürgen Hefele, Kathrin Eberhard from
Germany, Buket Uygur, Umut Südüak, Ulafl Eryavuz and Selen Bafler from Turkey.
There was a reason for me to assign the graphics designers of these three specific
countries. Just then, Iran was having a political crisis with the USA and EU regarding
the issues of the uranium enrichment project and the increase in nuclear plants. The
involved authorities from Iran, had made a statement that they would take advantage
of this development completely for the sake of technological progress. Therefore, I
asked young graphic designers from Iran which I had met earlier, whose works I had
been following and with whom I had been already frequently corresponding on
exactly this subject, what their opinion was and requested them to design a poster
within the context of this theme. It appeared in the newspapers that the majority of
the engineering companies to work for the nuclear power plant project that was
