The Future Tense newspaper is a research- and text-based work consisting of prophecies of fortune-tellers from Turkey, commissioned by the artist specifically for December 2, 2017. They reflect upon a variety of topics, including the global economy, politics and art. In the era of increased censorship and control imposed by the current Turkish government, the work discusses the ambiguous position of clairvoyants in contemporary Turkish society. It brings together opinions of different political positions and ethnic backgrounds, mixing propaganda, facts, and fortune-telling in order to question social modes of receiving mass media information.
