BIO
BIO
Ulku Caglayan is a practice-led artist working across performance and
facilitation.
She uses performance as a generative process through
which text, spoken word, sound, installation, and moving image emerge.
Drawing from dream states, pre-verbal experience and embodied
imagination, she creates situations that examine how human behaviour
emerges in real time.
She is a facilitator of the Social Dreaming Matrix and is also trained
in Intimacy Coordination for film.
Her first artist book, Making Sense, is distributed by institutions
including Printed Matter, Claire de Rouen, and Jameel Arts Centre.
She was also the founder of Circuit, a socially engaged arts and culture
organization. For Circuit’s portfolio, click here.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Her work is invested in ethics and politics of rehearsals, workshops and foregrounds radical togetherness.
She uses these structured environments to create visceral performancess and guides them through improvised speech and readings from constructed texts where trust, attention, imagination and relational dynamics become active elements of the work itself.
- “Social Dreaming Matrix” yeni serisi Kasım 2023’de başlıyor.
