The Opening in Mayfair (2026)
Performance- Installation
Ink-jet print on A2 size papers

The Opening in Mayfair (2026), a performance that takes as its starting point the London Underground announcement ‘See it. Say it. Sorted.’, the artists highlight the open-ended nature of surveillance and espionage in the public realm. The work incorporates reports written during the exhibition opening by a detective – whose identity remains unknown, even to the artists. In doing so, Günyol and Kunt foreground the public nature of the gallery space and the increasing authoritarian pressures shaping this publicness within the global political climate.

From the press release of the exhibition If you wanna go outside, get, 5 MARCH–11 APRIL 2026 at DİRİMART LONDON
