Persuasion Exercises, 2011
18 posters, each 82,5*82,5 cm
Propaganda posters are used to convince the masses; they convince the people to take side. They are an explicit attempt to influence beliefs, attitudes and/or behaviours by using different strategies.
Persuasion Exercises is a work that reflects the usage of body postures at the political parties' propaganda posters. For the work, an actor exercised the postures of various politicians that are used for propaganda at the election campaigns. At the end of each exercize, he is photographed when he gives the final pose. These photographs are used to produce 17 posters and they were displayed on a billboard at the city center of Ankara during the election period in Turkey.
