George Demir

„Keeping up with Corç, George, Corç/George?“ examines the transition from an educationally disadvantaged migrant working class into an intellectualised, highly privileged and predominantly white upper class. Utilising an auto-ethnographic approach, this installation is an attempt to reconstruct a collective experience by means of  Demir’s individual transition. Attention is drawn to the emerging social literacy of codes from both, the working and upper class, in order to understand and effectively use various referential systems to pose the questions of what happens to a person when passing through milieus.
