Nyskick. Özlem Altın (b. 1977; lives and works in Berlin) examines the relationship between photography, the archive, and the body. For her work, Altın refers to a collection of photographic images that she has assembled over the past years and combines found imagery with her own photos and paintings into dense compositions. Some motifs that resonate emotionally―the mask, the mermaid, the heron―are recurring symbols, which embody a state of in-betweenness. Altın invites viewers into immersive installations to witness processes of change and becoming. Altın is awarded the 2024 Hannah-Höch-Förderpreis. Her exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie can be read as a “speculative cartography.” The accompanying catalogue unites two volumes and is an experimental continuation of the exhibition. It contains essays by Maren Lübbke-Tidow and Federica Bueti, as well as forewords by Thomas Köhler and Katia Reich. Se vidare: https://www.distanz.de/en/oezlem-altin/prisma
