Cihad Caner Cihad Caner
Cihad Caner is an artist born in Istanbul (1990) and currently based in Rotterdam. His practice explores the politics of the image through the mediums of video, photography, music, motion capture, and CGI. Cihad’s research-driven practice revolves around (re)presentation, language, marginalisation and alterity. His fictional CGI characters are often multi-lingual protagonists in non-linear, metaphorical narratives that employ humour, absurdity, and poetry to critique the status quo. Recently he has exhibited at The Finnish Museum of Photography, Hong Kong Arts Center, TENT, Kasseler Kunstverein, Blitz Malta, and EYE Film Museum. Caner is currently a resident artist at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.
Cihad Caner is one of the contributing artists of the exhibition Scattered: Hidden Narratives Through Archives (2023) curated by Nesli Gül which takes place from 3 March to 16 April at Framer Framed, Amsterdam.
