Banu Cennetoğlu
right?
Banu Cennetoğlu (b. 1970, Ankara, Turkey) lives and works in Istanbul, Turkey. In Cennetoğlu’s proposed sculpture, the artist writes each article of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, published by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, in letter-shaped balloons. The articles change every 18 days; inevitably, the balloons wilt between changes, suggesting the contrast between a declaration and its realization.
