GÜN (1956, İstanbul --)

My recent work explores the ancient mythology of this land. However I create a unity with contemporary media. The most important concept for me is to emphasize the ‘remix-like’ formation. A re-mixed form in the same way as one might remix music; a view of this life style of ours. Keeping myself away from nationalistic values, from the past to the present, the land that shelters this process is always more important for me... I have an idea which I carry through today that my parent language expressed in ancient times. I preserve a merciless power in my chromosomes and I nurture it in a way. This is the urgency of my creative process.
