Özet

This essay includes descriptions of three instances of artistic production: A song, a tapestry project, and a novel-museum duo. All three convey a mutual inclination toward individuals and objects in differing ways. The third instance, a non-traditional permanent installation in the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul, is called 4213 Cigarette Stubs. In the final sections of the essay, singling out this installation, I try crystallizing the educational aura even mundane objects can create when they are presented within the playful context of artistic expression. The focus in the discussion is on such aura in which sensing, remembering, thinking, comparing, empathizing, interpreting, and learning cohabit.
