Untitled documents the collaborative practice of Can Sayınlı and Jørgen Evil Ekvoll between 2005 and 2007, bringing together works across sculpture, installation, photography, and textile. At the heart of the publication is a series of handwoven wool and silk carpets produced in Hereke, where one of Turkey’s most renowned weaving traditions is reinterpreted through a conceptual artistic language. Works such as Sex, Drugs, Rock’n’roll, and War transform the carpet from a decorative object into a carrier of cultural, political, and linguistic meaning. Closely associated with the artists’ 2007 Whatever exhibition, the publication functions both as an exhibition document and as an autonomous artist’s book, reflecting an early body of work that merges Scandinavian conceptualism with Turkish craft traditions through material experimentation and visual precision.
