My visual art practice considers ideas in the manner of dismantling and reconstructing the ruling order observed in a minutely tuned society history. I talk in such a way as to expose the historical and political issues of the society starting from the firing points of trivial personal experiences. Within the works, I stand as someone witnessing and concurrently caught up in the battle between the internal patriarchy and the external or social patriarchy. My works are realized in various presentations such as film, performance, object, sound, and photography.

World Of Noon #5 Bending Your Back Like This
Through shared experiences, public discussion and physical exercises, we will examine the spacial adjustability of the human body as a metaphor for the housing-crises we are facing today. We will look at the video works of Goeun Bae and Ling-Yu He. Both use the means of the human body to sketch out the boundaries of private and shared space. Furthermore we will talk with the artist Carsten Lisecki and architect Monika Konrad about their practices related to the topic.
Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten/ Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science
In our residency program we house an artist community that is highly international, multi-disciplinary, experimental and critically engaged. Up to 50 artists are open to challenging themselves, and to working alongside positions that are vastly different from their own. Spending up to two years in residence, they enter into an open-ended process where they can deepen their practices, and explore new territories, in and beyond the art field.
