Kaan Hiçyılmaz (he/him) has a practice emerging from the reciprocation between the human body and the built environment, in which he investigates elements of control directed to affect one’s physical and mental conditioning. Personal associations-dissociations, embodied research, and psychogeography become essential methodologies to shape his inquiry. Approaching urban context as a space of order, he deconstructs everyday events, urban artefacts, and mundane actions as cues for our regulated daily experience. Through ephemeral public interventions and performative spatial installations, Kaan creates physical interplays to uncover and disrupt these ordinary dynamics. His work contextualises critical storytelling using tools of writing, moving image, prop making, and performance.
