In the exhibition re claim, Christina Calbari creates a pictorial world inhabited by androgynous beings, gnome-like figures, and hybrid creatures — half animal, half human. Young girls with barely visible facial features appear alongside them: noses, mouths and eyes are only faintly suggested. The figures seem anonymous, their individuality deliberately receding into the background.
The installations of Şakir Gökçebağ are created from objects we encounter every day: ordinary utensils, tools, and devices that make our lives easier yet often go unnoticed. As quiet companions of modern life, they perform their functions and then fade from view.
