Azade Köker

Prof. Azade Köker (b. 1949, Turkey) explores the relationships between society, identity, gender, city, and nature through various forms of expression. Beginning her artistic practice as a sculptor, Köker reinterprets narratives formed by mythology and art history from a contemporary perspective, questioning the social position of women and nature.

Köker began her artistic production with ceramics and later gradually evolved into a hybrid narrative form encompassing different disciplines such as collage, sculpture, and installation.  Composite and multi-layered nature is not merely a formal element in Köker’s works; it also becomes a roadmap that questions the intertwining of cultural, political, and historical layers.

Köker constructs images of a nature that has been interfered with by humans and a female body that has been subjected to oppression. The repetitions, transitions, and encounters of modern life find expression in the artist's works through layers that are repeated on the surface.
