Göksu Baysal (*1975 in Ankara, Turkey) lives and works in Berlin.
Photography, sculpture, film, and installation are central elements of his artistic practice. The interplay between these mediums arises through an interdisciplinary engagement with materials he collects during his travels and research. In his expansive installations, these materials are brought together in ephemeral and narrative constellations. His thematic repertoire includes archaeologically significant discoveries relevant to human history, as well as traces of decay, neglect, and architectural missteps of the present that do not necessarily convey war and violence. However, state arbitrariness and authoritarian structures can certainly be addressed.
He also casts a critical eye on the environment he inhabits: modern architecture with its potential for decay, communal structures of coexistence, or snapshots of everyday life—all of these form a spectrum and perspective for his artistic work.
Photography serves as a creative core of his practice; objects and installations are sculpturally developed but remain inherently tied to the material world.
