Autism Favorite Object, 2019 - ongoing

Autism Favorite Object is a large-scale installation and a project that has been prepared for the last 4 years by archiving the favorite objects which children with autism are obsessed with. The installation is continued and enriched with support of Koç University and Koç University Hospital.

“Autism Favorite Object” installation was intellectually leaded and designed by Sevval Konyali and has been supported by Koc University Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry department since 2019 meets with children with autism and their parents.

Through the work favorite objects children with autism are obsessed with and their stories are archived. Favorite objects that make up the installation which has the characteristics of a cabinet of curiosity, are sometimes a toy lantern that illuminates the darkness, sometimes a plastic magic wand that will change the world, and sometimes the cup of coffee that is had at the same time every morning. The installation is still exhibited in the corridor of the hospital’s pediatric unit.
