Experiencing Interruptions?

Taycan - Ovala

With Taycan's new music video "Ovala”(Rub), we want to emphasize the reality of sexual fluidity in Turkey. Our reality that cannot be hidden and undenied!

We are trying to show a discourse with the power of art against all judgments and restrictions. This body is ours. These orientations are ours! We all came together in this project with a striking, avant-garde and yet colorful attitude that produces multiple connotations with a protest stance without being political.

Don't you think it's time we rub off some norms without lingering?
