After graduation from the Department of Architecture at TOBB ETU, Zeynep Demirhan (1995, Aydın) completed her master’s thesis in the Department of Cinema and Television at Istanbul Bilgi University. Her article titled “Urban Environments and Agnès Varda’s Genius loci” co-authored with Kennedy Karpat, was published by Bloomsbury, England in the book “The Sustainable Legacy of Agnes Varda.”
Her artistic practice examines various states of existence, forms of forgetting and remembering, and relationships between subjects and spaces through semi-documentary narratives using photography, video, sound, and performance works. These works interrogate the boundaries between private and public spaces while revealing the ambiguous territory between reality and fiction.
Institutions such as the Sony Photography Awards, the Royal Photographic Society, Humble Arts Foundation, Lens Culture and F-stop Magazine have recognized her photography works. They have been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Beymen Art Collection, ShopigoArt, Mamut Art Project, Base Istanbul, Artweeks Istanbul, and Art Ankara. She is currently working on still images and moving images.
