In her site-specific interventions, sculptures, drawings and films, Hera Büyüktaşcıyan (b. 1984, Istanbul) explores the contradictory relationships between absence and existence, sound and silence, erasure and resistance, retracing turbulent histories rooted in territorial divisions and historical ruptures. Her recent films exhume fragments of architecture and urban stratifications, verging on poetics of space.
Rarely exhibited in France, the artist will present a cycle of films and a lecture performance titled Dream of a Falling Star, followed by a conversation with curator Hajra Haider Karrar.
