Mürüvvet Türkyılmaz was born in Izmir. She lives and works in Istanbul and Rome. Her main areas of concern are geography and cartography as a means of dealing with issues of borders, isolation, and the compressed and fast social life, which exist in a specific time and space. In her works, Türkyılmaz uses installations, videos and drawings to address the fluidity of cultures and people in contradiction with the rigid and static charting of maps, with their clearly demarcated borders. The work is the result of tracings dependent on collective and personal memories. Türkyılmaz’s work is the journey on the physical as well as the political map.
