Ozlem Gunyol & Mustafa Kunt

<p>Published on the occasion of <em>Ses-li Harfler | Ses-siz Harfler</em> at Dirimart (20 February–24 March 2019), this monograph presents the most comprehensive overview of Özlem Günyol and Mustafa Kunt’s collaborative practice to date, spanning 15 years of production. Living and working in Frankfurt since 2001, the artist duo has developed a body of work that explores geography, politics, language, and systems of measurement through meticulous processes of deconstruction and reconfiguration. The book brings together critical essays by Jörg Heiser, Banu Karaca, and Erden Kosova, as well as a conversation with Jakob Sturm and Felix Ruhöfer, offering multiple perspectives on the artists’ practice. An extensive “Works” section compiles their output from 2003 onward, tracing their investigations into political symbols, migration, belonging, and collective memory. With rigor and precision, Günyol and Kunt transform familiar objects and concepts, opening new possibilities for meaning, and offering courage and hope in re-imagining shared realities.</p><p>Text in English and Turkish.</p>
