Matter shaped by human hands.
MESS — 60th Anniversary
2019 · Stage show
MESS, Türkiye’s first employers’ union and the metal industry’s home since 1959, turned sixty, and wanted to tell its story without a single slide. That story is matter shaped by human hands, so it became the performance. Working as BİŞEYLER, OKYU’s founding team directed and designed it: a stage watched from every side, an image canvas of thirty thousand pixels, one dancer at its centre. For five minutes, metal dissolved, flowed and reformed around a single moving body, image and choreography moving as one. The room watched sixty years of an industry told through its own element.
Sixty years of an industry, told through its own element.
The full story
A stage watched from every side. One performer. Thirty thousand pixels. For its sixtieth anniversary, Türkiye’s metal industry told its story without a single slide.
MESS — Türkiye’s first employers’ union, the metal industry’s home since 1959 — turned sixty. An institution whose whole story is matter shaped by human hands. So that became the performance.
A stage built to be watched from 360 degrees, an image canvas of thirty thousand pixels, one performer at its centre. For five minutes, matter dissolved, flowed and reformed around a single moving body — image and choreography composed as one organism, the human touch always at the centre of the transformation.
Five minutes, one dancer, no slides — sixty years of an industry, told through its own element.
