Hera Büyüktaşciyan
In her multidisciplinary practice, Hera Büyüktaşcıyan uses the notion of absence and invisibility, in order to anchor memory through unseen and forgotten aspects of time & space and architectural memory in reference to ruptures in socio-political histories.
Through her sculptures, site specific interventions, drawings and films, Büyüktaşcıyan dives into terrestrial imagination by unearthing patterns of selected narratives and timelines that unfold the material memory of unstable spaces.
Hera Büyüktaşcıyan was born in Istanbul in 1984, and graduated from Marmara University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Painting department in 2006. She was awarded the Emerging Artist Prize at the Toronto Biennial of Art in 2019.
Her works are in several important collections including ARTER, Vehbi Koç Foundation, Istanbul; British Museum, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, Istanbul; National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMΣΤ), Greece; Tate Modern, London and The Gori Collection, Santomato di Pistoia, Italy.
She lives and works in Istanbul.
