Abstract (EN)
Considering the experimentalism of contemporary art, it seems insufficient to consider the inclusion of live animals in artworks, which is the subject of discussion in this thesis, as ethical, animal rights or only anthropocentric. While examining how the "ready-made" turns into a "ready live", a field based on earth and ecology, encompassing cultures, geographies, living creatures and even technology, without a language focus, without a masculine focus and away from human centrism was needed. Therefore, within the framework of "posthumanist ecocriticism", which adopts the principle of interdependence, asks what human morality is, and accepts the integrity and symbiosis of all subjects called "other", the dilemma of the ready-live as art has been tried to be revealed. The myth of mutual constructionism naturally implies a non-dominated collaboration. The practical works carried out within the scope of the thesis share the experience of establishing a partnership with living animals. This mutuality is not only between animals and human beings, but is part of the ongoing movement consisting of the becoming of animals, individually acquired knowledge, experiments, human construction, and then the making of animals again. Starting from the question "How does the artist, as the subject of the work of art that emerges with animals, share their role with the animal and can we talk about ethics here?", the problem of subject, sharing and ethics is opened to a discussion based on the earth in terms of the ready-live.
