Kaan Sezgin, 2026

Starting with photography, my artistic practice has evolved beyond the boundaries of the two-dimensional image into a process-oriented, multi-layered structure. By using photography as a point of departure and integrating sound, video, text, and found objects, I re-map geography and human interaction within the liminal space between document and fiction, memory and the contemporary. I conceive art not merely as a way of seeing but as a multi-sensory field of experience, aiming to transform the viewer from a static observer into an active participant through layers of perception.

In my work, I maintain a flexible framework where the final outcome is not predetermined, allowing the subject to transform throughout the production process. This borderless structure opens up space for me to develop new tools and structures based on the needs of the narrative, turning every stage of making into a ‘playground’ and a ground for dialogue where new questions and practices are tested. This approach fosters a democratic viewing space that invites engagement rather than passive observation. My spatial designs manifest as living forms that reflect temporal flow and the evolution of the process, inviting the audience to become an integral part of this ongoing transformation.
