With radical decrees he lead up
Europe in single steps. As military leader Kemal was strong enough to
call out the republic on Oct. 29th 1923 and to force the calif into
exile on March 3rd 1924. The Arabic writing was replaced by the Latin
writing and a secular constitution after Western model was enacted. The
newly founded nation state replaced the caliphate, the feudal system.
With that a poly-people state became a nation state in which one
national language was admitted what for example lead to the cultural
self-determination of the curds being ignored, and them siding with the
caliphate. The conflict which started off that way is brooding still
today and is a flaw of the otherwise successful revolution from above
with A as peace-lord and father-figure at the top. In the phase
of the revolution the strong position and the severity of the
constitution
whose guarantor until today is the military proofed itself necessary.
Only that way the principle of revolutionism with permanent reforms
could be put through. With that went the introduction of the Gregorian
calendar and the law against turbans in 1925, the equality of man
and woman as well as the voting rights for women 1930 (communally) and
1935 (nationally)

The creation of the painting which commemorates of this revolutionary step of the Turkish emancipation is now itself planned to be an act of intervention for the course of the demonstration.

Across the Strasse des 17.Juni
(name of the street, meaning: Street of the
17th.
of June, German holiday to commemorate the uprising of construction
workers in the former GDR on that day in 1953)in Berlin an empty canvas was
stretched out. In front of it a ribbon
with liquid black color as a kind of ink-pad so that all demonstrators
had to step across this threshold und left behind tracks of their shoes
on the white canvas. Then there lay floor mats to get rid of the color
off the soles.
A video shows impressively the reaction of the demonstrators to the threshold. First they were stopped and looked what the cloth would be all about. After its function was recognized only a few avoided to their soles dirty and jumped over the ink. Most of the demonstrators used their shoes like a stamp and stepped on decisively firmly to press their soles into the ink and then demonstratively onto the canvas. This printing of one's own mark by the way points directly to the term 'painting', what means 'to leave a mark' ('mark' in German= MAL, 'painting' in German = MALEN). A third group of people was so dreamy that they stepped onto the threshold without noticing it.
Furthermore something mentionable happened unintentionally. That is when during the demonstration a light shower of rain came down the color was thinned out lightly mitigating the graphical firmness of the sole prints. By this mingling of nature some thousand foot prints became blurred and the foot tracks have become to gray fields with soft transitions. During
