In Conversation with Hera Büyüktaşcıyan and Anne Barlow

Hera Büyüktaşçıyan

Hera Büyüktaşçıyan (b.1984 Istanbul) In her multidisciplinary practice, Büyüktaşcıyan unfolds ways in which memory, identity, and knowledge are shaped by deeply ingrained yet constantly evolving waves of history. The artist often references mythology and theology, as well as specific architectural structures as the foundation for her works, closely observing their genealogies and the ways in which they shift and evolve over time.

Through her site specific interventions, sculptures, drawings and films, Büyüktaşcıyan dives into terrestrial imagination by unearthing patterns of selected narratives and timelines that unfold the material memory of unstable spaces.
