Ezgi Yakın's works are based on references to the spaces, architectural structures, and parts, traces, and residues provided by the environmental and urban experience. In her interdisciplinary practice, she deals with the visual and intellectual possibilities of pieces that are inconsistent or residual to the structural order of life. She examines the whole-part, static-variable, function-dysfunction relationships, and the dynamics between solutions that stabilize and support formal elements stands out in her approach. She transforms visuals that emerge with time in places and spaces constructed with an intellectual and political perspective, with an alternative look that supports the imagination.
Yakın has participated in various exhibitions at the local, national and international levels, and in artist residency programs in Turkey and abroad. Her solo exhibitions are “Other Things Expected and Left Behind (Simbart Projects, 2023); “Juncture” (Tabacka Kulturfabrik, Kosice, 2019); “Strange Time” (Simbart Project, Istanbul, 2019). She also works as a lecturer in the university and writes articles to the art magazines and publications. In her practice and academic research, she is interested in the relationship between time and space, truth and utopia.
