Istanbul-based Deniz Gül, works with text, objects, photography, performance, and film to explore the ways in which people construct identities through their social selves, behavioral patterns, and daily rituals. Gül’s projects often incorporate multiple phases; she creates sculptural installations supported by an earlier piece of writing, followed by an adaptation to a performance. Gül aims to interrogate the ways in which public and private spaces are constructed, seeking to redefine boundaries, infusing the spaces with new patterns of meaning.
