In her works Bengü Karaduman explores the complexities of identity, perception, and constructed realities. Having grown up between two cultures, she is deeply aware of the fluid nature of the self and how different environments shape our understanding of the world. Her artistic practice is a means of making sense of these shifting realities—not only her own but also those of others. Through a process of observation, collection, deconstruction, and reassembly, she creates immersive installations that blend 2D and 3D computer animation, performance, drawing, sound, and sculptural elements.
Bengü Karaduman’s work is rooted in an exploration of both conscious and subconscious experiences. By keeping a dream diary, she gains access to subliminal content that informs her creative process, allowing her to integrate silhouettes and shadows as key elements of her visual language. Her installations subtly or directly engage with contemporary issues, reflecting specific moments in her personal and societal experience. At the heart of her practice is a deep interest in the human psyche as it navigates political, social, and economic structures, making her work a thought-provoking reflection on the complexities of modern existence.
