Emin Celik

​

Emin Çelik’s works generally seek conflict rather than follow a specific theme. The artist searches for the aesthetic potential in areas that are purged of or draw attention to reconciled relationships – particularly, in areas that fall through the cracks. He uses various production techniques such as sculpture, painting, photography, installation and video-art. In his productions, he mainly focuses on unravelling a system and going beyond its framework. In his works, like an archivist, he collects old documents and repurposes them to create an alternate library. In addition to these works while retaining his focus on these archives, he has also filmed various documentaries. He teaches aesthetics and philosophy of art at the university.
