Musings from the ‘74 Community
BURÇAK BİNGÖL
Burçak Bingöl is an artist whose practice centers on processes of tracing, copying, and re-forming. Through deconstructing familiar representations, she constructs new visual configurations that challenge perceptions of cultural and personal narratives. Her work emerges from a continuous reworking of images, objects, and forms—an iterative process where fiction and failure intertwine. Rooted in this tension, her pieces unfold architectural, sensorial, and conceptual dialogues with space, offering a nuanced field of visual and material exploration.
