    Let’s Look Back Today

    Artist Blog by Berk Kır

    As a young professional at 27, I have been exploring myself and the world through photography for about 13 years. The reflex of looking back is a way of remembering photography’s emergence and widespread use. Today, as I reflect on my 27 years, I have prepared a selection of photographs taken since I was 14.

    Along with this post going live, I will have already started the setup for my new exhibition. The group exhibition Queerreality – New Realms of Surrealism, in which I’m participating, will be on view at Kulturbunker Köln-Mülheim until the first week of November. The exhibition presents a spatial experiment, exploring the dynamics between queer-feminist art and surrealism, inspired by the 100th anniversary of the Surrealist Manifesto. I plan to create an infiltration into the exhibition space, which once served as a shelter, through the medium of photography.

    Berk Kır

    Berk Kır (b. 1997, Istanbul) is a versatile art historian, researcher, and artist, known for pushing boundaries. His work delves into image theory, conceptual thought, object-oriented ontology, and the complex dynamics of body, gender, and urban spaces. For Kır, photography is more than a medium - it’s an extension of his physical presence, capturing long-term observations rather than fleeting moments. Since 2021, he has been recognized among the top 100 image makers in European photography and was named Young Talent of the Year in 2022.
