New Exhibition "Jeu des Portraits en Famille" at Centre Intermondes, Jun 2018 (FRA)
Vernissage « Jeu des Portraits en Famille » de GÖZDE MIMIKO TÜRKKAN (TURQUIE)
Après une résidence à la Ludothèque de Mireuil organisée par le Centre Socio-Culturel Le Pertuis, Gözde Mimiko Türkkan (Turquie) est de retour au Centre Intermondes pour exposer le travail photographique “Jeu des Portraits en Famille”, mené avec la complicité de familles rochelaises. Elles ont pu exprimer leurs liens dans un portrait, décalé ou pas, autour du jeu ou du sérieux, professionnel ou amateur. Par le biais de ce travail, l’artiste s’interroge sur la place de chacun dans la société et la famille, sur les relations parents/enfants. Le jeu et la prise de photo s’entremêlant, deux possibilités ont été proposées aux parents : Si leur enfant, adolescent ou grand enfant voulait faire la photo, à lui ou elle de décider du placement, des costumes, des gestes etc.., et aux parents d’obéir! Si leur enfant était trop petit, il ou elle pouvait alors choisir les costumes, les accessoires ou encore les jouets qu’il ou qu’elle aimerait voir sur la photo avec ses parents. Exposition du 6 au 20 juin 2018 au Centre Intermondes, de 10h à 13h et de 14h à 18h.

Pay Here (#06) in Louisville Photo Biennial at 21c Museum Hotel, Sep 2017 (ENG)
[…] Signs of the desire to possess and consume echo throughout this selection of photographs, particularly in the work of Gözde Türkkan whose Pay Here series focuses on the outward manifestation of sexual, psychological, emotional, and sociological identity. The confrontational gaze of the women in Türkkan’s photograph suggests a consideration of the potential costs of desire.
“Object(s) of Desire” at 21c Museum Hotel, Louisville/USA.
September 22 – December 31, 2017
Featuring photographic works by: Kelli Connell, Humberto Díaz, Zanele Muholi, Vik Muniz, Youseff Nabil, René Peña, and Gözde Türkkan

Included in Imago Mundi Art "Istanbul Codex" collection, jul 2016
“227 works that give a real time snapshot of the art scene in a complex country, suspended between East and West, between Islamization and modernization, between advancement and untamed growth. Creativity, culture and art that can play an important role in enhancing an identity founded on the particularity of Turkey, a country between two worlds. Art that transcends boundaries, breaks rules and restrictions, bypasses all is, as in every Imago Mundi collection, the common thread of this collection that rightly also includes 20 works by Kurdish artists, the largest ethnic group in the country.”
