"THE SEVENTH CONTINENT" 16th ISTANBUL BIENNIAL
Client: Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, 2019
Visual identity and campaign for the 16th Istanbul Biennial
About the theme of the biennial: "The Seventh Continent"
Today, we are acknowledging that the canonical western division between nature and culture has come to an end. The Anthropocene theory has contributed to this awareness, as the impact of human activities on nature generates an intertwined world where culture is reintegrating into nature, and vice-versa. Meanwhile, due to the increasing interconnections between cultures, as well as the development of transportation and migratory flows, the old centres are turning into megapolises sheltering a multitude of micro-cultures.
The Seventh Continent is an anthropology of an off-centred world and an archaeology of our times. It defines today’s art as an archipelago of diverse enquiries into global life, tracking the prints of human activity on the earth and our impact on its non-human inhabitants.
