Özgür Kar

Özgür Kar (Turkey, 1992) works with video, sound, performance, and installation. His practice reflects contemporary existentialism, focusing on the interconnections between digital media and the human body. He draws inspiration from Ottoman and Persian folklore, experimental theatre, early animation, and 1990s MTV cartoons. Kar creates his works as theatrical scenes, with each character playing their role within a non-linear script. His work has been exhibited at the Sydney Biennale, Sydney, the Yokohama Triennale, Yokohama, and the Lyon Biennale. He lives in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
