About (+) (-)

Alper Çekinmez (b. 2001) is an interdisciplinary artist. His recent works have gained attention for their humorous yet thought-provoking nature, blurring the lines between functionality and artistry. Çekinmez's artistic journey is influenced by the conflict between his upbringing, where the ethos of creating one's versions of products or machines to foster independence deeply resonated with him. And his sensitivity towards destruction, injustice and disturbance caused by the ever growing techno capitalist system. This mindset, rooted in an inner conflict, continues to shape his artistic endeavours, providing a unique perspective that reflects self-expression.
