Elburuz Fidan
Elburuz Fidan creates changing scales between territory and their outcomes. In their practice scalable things are participating in varying economies and redefine the daily experiences as well as values. Elburuz’s formulation of fragments allows us to leave binary systems of thoughts. Throughout a Queer Territory of economics are murmuring about transformative currencies for transformative solutions. Their practice invites the collective knowledge and making; claims the present for Queers in an inclusionary way of thought. In their practice, they try to avoid infinite oppositions of structures and obsessive movement between those antagonist indications. Diasporic Subject, zombies, violence, colonial goods, language, agriculture, other kinships, imaginary places and nature are being reconstructed through their installations. Besides, Elburuz is a proud Zombie and Prof. Migrant.
Born in 1988, in Turkey.
