    Om detta konstverk

    Untitled — seza paker

    Seza Paker, who lives and works between Istanbul and Paris, completed her education at the Paris Académie des Beaux-Arts and École Camondo. Paker uses a wide variety of media such as drawing, photography, audio, and video, and she also produces site-specific installations. The concept of time occupies an important place in her works, which are loaded with references to various fields like literature, cinema, philosophy, sociology, and art history.In this work, Paker uses three black and white photographs taken from her father’s archive as her starting point. The artist uses the dresses of women posing in photographs to produce enlarged and abstracted motifs, attaching these colourful drawings, along with the photographs, to the surface of the canvas. With this abstraction, the patterns break away from the phenomenal plane imposed by the archival material; they come to life, becoming timeless. The work gestures, on the one hand, to differences in the perception of documents, photographs, patterns, and pictures, as well as the sensory effect born out of the collective usage of these media; on the other, it focuses on the depth of detail produced by these colourful and numerical leitmotifs.

    Born in Istanbul, Turkey

    A Life Interwoven: The Artistic Journey of Seza Paker

    Seza Paker, a Turkish-French artist born in Istanbul in 1955, embodies a fascinating confluence of cultural perspectives and artistic disciplines. Her journey began within the vibrant tapestry of Istanbul, a city steeped in history and brimming with creative energy. This early immersion profoundly shaped her aesthetic sensibility, instilling a deep appreciation for layered narratives and symbolic resonance that would become hallmarks of her work. Paker’s decision to pursue formal training at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the École Camondo in Paris marked a pivotal moment, propelling her into the heart of the European art world while simultaneously allowing her to refine and expand upon the foundations laid during her formative years in Turkey. This dual grounding—rooted in both Eastern tradition and Western innovation—is central to understanding the unique character of her artistic vision.

    The Fluidity of Form: Exploring Paker’s Conceptual Practice

    Paker's work resists easy categorization, existing instead within a dynamic realm of conceptual exploration. She doesn’t confine herself to a single medium; rather, she fluidly navigates installation, photography, film, sound, collage, and drawing, employing whichever form best serves the articulation of her ideas.
