Gizem Ünlü
Lives and works in Istanbul, Turkey
Her practice focuses on themes such as belonging, loss, mourning, vulnerability, and the thresholds between domestication and violence. She is particularly interested in the emotional, cultural, and historical resonances of everyday materials and how they can activate the collective unconscious. Her works often unfold through installations, sculptures, video, and spatial compositions; combining material, language and performative gestures in ways that explore emotional and discursive resonances. Her process reflects both care and pain; gestures that speak to both vulnerability and endurance.
