Zeyno Pekünlü was born in Izmir in 1980. She graduated from the Painting Department at Mimar Sinan University. After finishing her Master’s degree in 2004, she completed a second Master’s degree in Artistic Production and Research at the University of Barcelona in 2009. Pekünlü completed her doctoral degree in Painting at Mimar Sinan Fine Art university in 2010. Currently, she works as lecturer at Kültür University in Istanbul. Pekünkü has held many solo exhibitions and participated in various group exhibitions in Turkey and abroad. Pekünlü explores the fragile meanings of the identities that the society attributes to us (such as woman, artist, Turkish etc.) in her video work. To highlight these identities she usually uses coincidental methods to reorganize the given symbols.
