TERRITORY

Bilsart is hosting Begüm Yamanlar’s exhibition entitled “Territory” on January 24th – February 3rd. The exhibition is titled after Begüm Yamanlar’s video work.  

Influenced by being away from nature and longing for it, in her works, the artist touches on the cyclic structure of nature, the variable relation that humans build with nature and the universe, how we perceive all these things and the concept of time.

In Begüm Yamanlar’s video installation entitled “Territory”, a video work consisting of black and white photographs is observed. By playing with the viewer’s point of view and perception of time, the work focuses on the desire of possession and transformation trending from humankind to nature. Yamanlar’s video work is accompanied by an artist’s book which lets the video become tangible.
