  • THRESHOLDS OF CONTROL. Bodies and Memories in the Age of Technocracy

  • EVA FRAPICCINI
    , RANA HAMADEH, PINAR ÖĞRENCI

Simondi Gallery is pleased to host the third edition of Post Scriptum, the format that launches its exhibition season every September. The group exhibition Thresholds of Control, curated by the gallery in collaboration with Eva Frapiccini, offers an urgent and layered investigation of the age of technocracy, where power is structured through algorithms, control systems, and automated narratives. In a context dominated by the opacity of technologies and the delegation of responsibility to artificial intelligences, the works on display open up spaces for critical reflection, questioning how dreams, bodies, memories, and desires are collected, archived, manipulated, and disciplined.

 

Eva Frapiccini, Rana Hamadeh, and Pınar Öğrenci evoke a suspended atmosphere, staging a subtle yet determined critique of the technocratic rationality that permeates our time. At the same time, they reflect on the inequalities that shape contemporary society—where access to space for dreams and desires is not equally distributed and takes on different weight and proportions depending on one's social context. Frapiccini, Hamadeh, and Öğrenci reject the logic of simplification, automatism, and algorithmic abstraction. Instead, through their works, they restore complexity, ambiguity, and subjectivity. Thresholds of Control is an act of resistance: against the totalizing archive, against the ideology of the norm, against the depersonalization of the machine. In an era where technocracy masks itself as neutrality, this exhibition invites us to reclaim the value of doubt, deviance, and dreaming.
