about

With an academic background in Fine Arts/Culture and Social Anthropology, my works emerge in a transitory space between art, anthropology and the reality of life with tentacles in and out of different disciplines. Examining the entanglements between politics and poetics, personal actions and their liminal condition to approach art making as a form of living.  Commonly enacts gestural interventions— that resist the subjection of common space. The fusion between art making, living, thinking and being etc. is unconditionally inextricable. It implies for me basically two things – art as conceptual idea and art as manifestations of gestures into the living. In doing so the material condition and visual instance are as important as the idea that each work/constellation conveys for the possibility of its (personal and impersonal) consequences. It leads to the agency of the work itself where conceptual ideas may lead to personal moves and vice versa and though becomes a manifestation of how you approach your planetary condition, and the entire cosmos as your library.

Grateful for the support and recognition of my work through various grants and fellowships such as Stiftung Kunstfonds (2022), Saxon state scholarship (2019/21), IFA research grant (2016), Austrian Research Society ÖFG (2013), STEP BEYOND travel grant (2016), among others, and supported through international artist-in-residence programs such as cultureland nl, Amsterdam and Örö Island Residency, Finland.

The collaborative efforts of on/off collaboration that she cofounded as a member, to seek to work together beyond geographical limitations while being situated in disparate geographical location were made accessible for a wider public audience by the invitation from the Museums Casa del LAGO in Mexico City in 2016.

The works were awarded with Federal Art Prize (Bunderspreis für Kunststudierende) and the Caspar David Friedrich Prize 2019.
