Ceren Oykut
The drawings produced by Turkish artist Ceren Oykut live on the computer are reflected on various surfaces of the performance space. In the beginning there is only darkness, they begin to create intricate worlds with countless elements of lines, landscape drawings, animal figures, monstrous creatures, letters or signs used as light sources. Through the fast and dynamic use of the drawing board and digital projection, the production phase is reminiscent of live animation; Everything is produced in real time in order to turn the time and space into a living cartography. Oykut deals with the transformations of a city and is therefore referred to as a "visual city historian". Istanbul, a city where she was born and raised, growing and transforming very rapidly, had a great influence on Oykut's art practice. Ceren Oykut continues to construct new landscapes in the world of brutal gentrification in Berlin.
