The Home Book 1 | 2026
The Home Book 1: 40 evden geçmeden yolunu bulamayanlar (those who can’t find their way without going through 40 homes) is a handmade artist book that engages with the image of home to explore belonging and our relationship to space. Home is not a physical place, but rather a connection we build with a place. Home is a journey; it’s not constant but in motion; not a noun but a verb; in the making, in process on the road, becoming itself, maybe myself…
The Home Book 1 was first exhibited as part of the 46 group exhibition within the Edirne Biennale (21 May – 28 June 2026) in Edirne, Türkiye.

Fall From A Balcony | 2018/2020
Indigo print, photographs overpainted with ink. (2018/2020)
Fall From A Balcony is a visual presentation of the research into the use of balconies by political figures. It questions the relations between space and power through images in recent history and today. Public balconies have been used for political performance and propaganda by presidents and dictators as a tool both to demonstrate power and menace their opponents. Balconies have also become a space for political crimes, as well as for actions and protests by revolutionaries, rights defenders, artists … They are scenes for rising up and falling down.
The handmade book of 80 pages presents media representations of balcony speeches and other political actions on balconies from different geographies, mainly in the last century. By displaying various examples with minor interventions to the images, the work proposes to look at different figures and forms in the continuous use of a place for the proclamation of, struggle for, and protest against power.
The book was first exhibited in the “Activate the Territories” exhibition by the Site-Specific Art Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, parallel to the conference “Shifting Sites: Territories and Space” (9-11 November 2018).
