Didem Pekun @ Delfina Foundation

In Didem Pekün’s first solo exhibition in London, Of Dice and Men, a throw of the dice acts as a metaphor for individual existence, where the patterns of everyday life are driven by chance and our actions are a choice. The throw affirms a sense of urgency, as well as an awareness of how our lives and history are in a perpetual state of repetition, yet with paradoxical variations.
Of Dice and Men is a video essay punctuated by moments of subjective consequence. Presented in dialogue across two screens, the footage captures London and Istanbul, the two cities that Pekün’s life straddles and is torn between.
