Scattered Stories is a three-part installation series that withdraws the relationship between material and memory from the plane of representation, reconstituting it instead as a direct practice of trace production. Within this framework, the shoelace is no longer treated as a merely everyday object, but as a material carrier of forced movements, interrupted routes, and incomplete trajectories. The shoes and shoelaces used in this work were collected from the ruins left behi

Seçkin AYDIN, 2025 -Türkçe için aşağı ininiz- Women’s labor cannot be repaid. In Turkish, the expression “Hakkı Ödenmez” is commonly used to convey gratitude. This work returns the phrase from metaphor to its literal meaning: women’s labor often remains unpaid. Invisible domestic care, emotional labor, and structural inequalities in the workplace form the economic basis of this invisibility. The phrase appears in gilded balloon letters, materials associated with celebration

p LASTOP ia: Future Ecologies. In its shift from fast fashion to an ultra-fast fashion regime, today’s system of production and consumption generates, exhausts, and discards objects at accelerating speed. Yet this “disappearance” operates only within the logic of the market. Once released into the environment, materials enter a different temporality. The textile industry’s vast production of microplastics constitutes the material foundation of this transformation. Everything

Merkezde konumlanan beyaz Renault Toros, burada yalnızca bir ulaşım aracı değil; 1990’ların kolektif belleğinde yer etmiş, görünmeyen fakat sürekli hissedilen bir iktidar teknolojisinin cisimleşmiş hâlidir. Araç, klasik panoptikon modelinin tersine işleyen, izleyeni de içine çeken, dağıtık ve belirsiz bir gözetim rejimini temsil eder.

An amputee may experience this phantom limb as if it were still part of their body. Suppressed memories associated with the limb may help explain the sensations that persist after amputation. This condition can cause severe physical pain as well as profound psychological trauma. I

"Scattered Stories" “Had toddler Alan Kurdi not been dead, he would have been an artist, sportmen, dancer etc.”

In this work, a humanitarian corridor is constructed using shoes and shoelaces found among the ruins of Diyarbakır/Sur, a Kurdish city destroyed in a recent war, as well as among the remains of Syrian refugees washed ashore on the Aegean coast of Turkey. Scattered Stories; Humanitarian Corridor compels us

"The Last Trump / Eco-Calyptic" “The Last Trump” is a mythical instrument believed in many religious traditions to herald the end of the world. It is often portrayed as being blown by a male angel. In this work, the image of the male angel is reimagined within the context of the consumerist, exploitative, and patriarchal capitalist system —a system that treats the Earth and its resources as if they are infinitely disposable. This photograph was taken near Hasankeyf , an anc
