“ID CARD/ N.C. (2011) is a printed copy of needlework on fabric work. Each person born in Turkey is given an identity card (Nüfus Cüzdanı). Women’s are pink and men’s are blue. Featured on the NC is information on the person’s religion, marital status, state register, and gender. It is a document that confirms a person’s official record and existence. The NC in its original size sewn onto cloth includes all information on both woman and man; it completes the official division and content information. It questions the sharp boundaries regarding gender, citizenship rights and choices that exist within the state. NC is presented as a print, together with a text: It can be read with an introductory booklet found on the NC that questions the intention and workings of the personal, mandatory areas on the card.” - The artist
