Mîrkan Deniz
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2024
Mîrkan Deniz is an artist based in Zurich. Mîrkan works with sculpture, drawing, video, and installation. Their conceptual works are often reconstructions and citations. One of their interests is the tension between materials and immaterial effects (trauma, ineffable experiences, and memories). Through their work they ask how could an object (a sculpture) maintain this tension while investigating the relationship between past, violence, and subjectivity.
