Hello! I am Begüm Malkoçlar. I am a multidisciplinary artist and producer. By combining different materials in my works, I aim to dream and reconstruct a past that I have not witnessed. By reinterpreting the historical narrative, I think about the universe and the place of the individual in this universe, and I try to establish, understand and explain this relationship. For this reason, I often use the part-whole relationship as a production method in my works and build a self-weaving narrative by progressing step by step. I like to layer my works by combining different materials, bringing together different textures and techniques. In this sense, digital/analog film, embroidery, illustration, collage and writing are among the techniques I frequently use. Discovering different ways of understanding the world and life, storytelling it and looking at the rarest coincidences that make us who we are and witnessing the weaving of this mysterious process over time forms the basis of my creative process. Maybe that's why I prefer such a way to establish a stronger relationship with life, I choose to produce, I try to hear the voice of the world and tell it in my own voice.
