Turkish contemporary artist \u015e\u00fckran Moral, who is known for her extraordinary and provocative works, made love with a female partner during her latest performance \u201cAmemus\u201d (Lovemaking) on Thursday at the Casa Dell Arte Gallery in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
Guests at the event, who had no idea what they were about to see, were shocked when a young woman, wearing only a g-string and bra, went onto a bed on the stage and started to have sex with the artist Moral, who was wearing the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me, but they had real sex in front of people; I mean it was not a fiction or anything,\u201d said one of the viewers. Most of the audience left the venue in the first 10 minutes. \u201cI was really embarrassed. Everyone was in shock,\u201d said another guest. After 20 minutes, as viewers were leaving the venue, Moral was still having sex with her partner.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the event, Moral said her performance did not have a singular purpose. \u201cGenerally speaking, the purpose was to bring a new expression to the language of performance art and of course to break taboos. My goal was to annoy the viewers of the performance. I don\u2019t want to make a performance that does not annoy people and make them excited and confused.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI have always had a problem with taboos in all my performances. Sexuality is one of the fields banned by governments. Making love in this performance is an artistic event. It is not a \u2018sexual show\u2019 but discussing a moral problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of the reactions and for security reasons, Moral has canceled her exhibition of the same name, which was to feature photos of the performance and was scheduled to open Dec. 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
