“Ezgi Erol addresses the technologies of the body to question community an organization and the power to write history. (...) Described as „a call for unruly bodies to hurl their manifesto,“ Erol's successive references to the topic of perfomativity and body politics ave led to patterns as a repetition of forms and motifs. Homogenized surfaces formed in a symmetrical order, in which there are no errors or differences. (...) In the Slingshot Manifest, the body is a motive, a fluid, unruly, absurd one, which is more diverse in its collective and emancipatory perception of the subject. For Erol, the collective body is precisely within and against the dominant pattern of the dominant capitalist order. It arises out of vulnerability, differentiated hierarchies in the individualized history and in the search for fiends, collective historiography, emancipatory utopias and interventionist practices which are excluded from art and political struggle.”
