    Bordering bodily experience / Experiencing border bodily
    (Eastern Mediterranean University Press, 2025) Avcı, Ozan
    The chapter examines the border as a spatial, temporal, bodily, and mnemonic condition rather than merely a political or physical line of separation. Focusing on the divided urban context of Nicosia/Lefkoşa, it argues that borders shape everyday experience by restricting movement, vision, contact, and memory, while also producing intensified forms of perception and awareness.Through a phenomenological perspective, the text challenges dualistic understandings of body and mind, emphasizing that the border is experienced through the whole body. Spatial congestion, folded temporalities, bodily limitation, and constrained memory are presented as key dimensions of border experience. The border is therefore interpreted not only as an instrument of division, but also as an existential and experiential condition that reorganizes how space is sensed, remembered, and inhabited.The chapter also considers artistic, performative, and architectural practices that engage with the buffer zone through movement, sound, memory, and bodily presence. These practices reveal the possibility of rethinking the border as a site of transformation. Rather than treating the border solely as a closed or static barrier, the chapter frames it as a dynamic field where alternative forms of connection, coexistence, and spatial imagination may emerge.

    Üç Ayaklı Kedi Şehri Gezerken: Kırılganlık Metaforu ve Neoliberal Kent Gerçekliği
    (Mimarlık Dergisi - Mimarlar Odası, 2025) Avcı, Ozan
    İstanbul Bienali’nin üç yıla yayılan 18. edisyonunun ilk ayağı, “The Three - Legged Cat” - “Üç Ayaklı Kedi” başlığıyla 20 Eylül – 23 Kasım 2025 tarihleri arasında gerçekleşti. Bienal, küratör Christine Tohmé’nin kedi metaforu üzerinden “hayatta kalma”, “yeniden oluşturma” ve “dönüşüm” temaları çerçevesinde şekillendi. Bienal’den izlenimlerini aktaran yazar, sergi mekânlarının Karaköy merkezli seçimine dikkat çekerek, yazısını Bienal’in İstanbul ile kurduğu kavramsal ve programatik bağ üzerinden kurguluyor; sergi mekânları ile kentin güncel dönüşüm süreçleri arasındaki ilişkiyi eleştirel bir zeminde tartışıyor.
