Jelly Gummy Platform is a project located in the Ekbatan neighborhood, designed to function as a plugin for the urban fabric. Ekbatan, with its unique collective lifestyle, holds a significant position not only in terms of architecture and urban design but also due to its critical sociopolitical context in today's world.

Within the public spaces of Ekbatan, certain infrastructural objects exist in two forms: some are attached to columns, while others stand independently. Acting as a plugin, Jelly Gummy Platform connects several of these objects within a grid network, transforming them into stages with minimal intervention and cost. This intervention introduces a new function to these structures, reimagining their purpose within the urban context.

The platform essentially stages programs that already exist but remain unrecognized or unofficial in the city. These photogenic, minimalist stages, with their simple forms, often carry an ironic resemblance to the objects or activities that have been suppressed or erased, giving them a symbolic resonance.

The project challenges the relationship between spectatorship and performativity, exploring it through both dialogue and monologue. It redefines gestures—sitting and watching, standing and watching, sitting and performing, or standing and performing—each uniquely experienced within the objects.

By integrating this plugin into the space, the project creates an opportunity for programs that are deemed illegal or unacknowledged yet undeniably exist. In this context, the space performs even the "absence of performance," presenting a dynamic interplay between presence and absence, acknowledgment and neglect.
