Ali Kazma is internationally known for his cinematic works and video installations. His works engage deeply with the relationship between humans, labor, and technology. Kazma often uses a documentary style to depict complex processes and actions that are often invisible or overlooked in society. His works portray everyday labor processes, such as those in factories, laboratories, or artisan workshops, addressing the intersections between manual labor and mechanical systems. In his video installations, he typically employs precise camera work and a minimalist visual language to highlight the physical and mechanical dimensions of the depicted activities. The aesthetics of his works play a central role, focusing on details that are often overlooked in everyday life.
Ali Kazma represented Turkey at the 55th Venice Biennale. The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington dedicated an individual exhibition to his work. His films were shown at the 30th Bienal de São Paulo, the 10th and 12th Istanbul Biennial, the 9th Biennale de Lyon, at the San Francisco Art Institute, and at the TBA21 in Vienna.
