Özgür Demirci
Lives and works in Turkey
Artist statement
Özgür Demirci, in his video and installation-based practice, brings together a poetic aesthetic with a political perspective, exploring notions such as memory, testimony, and the trace of the unseen. His works often navigates a mythological path, where the personal and the collective converge, and recent explorations extend this poetic-political approach into the terrains of industrial legacy, machinery, masculinity, and the socio-economic transformations orbiting automobile culture.
