Trained in classical techniques but drawn to the unpredictable nature of digital experimentation, Zeynep Schilling dissects the invisible frameworks of human connection from power dynamics and surveillance to intimacy, and demonstrates how perception itself is mediated by systems, screens, and time. Her mind works towards reimagining technology as part of humanity’s emotional landscape rather than merely a tool.
Often approaching moving images and installations as extensions of her personal choreography, humour and surprise remain critical tools in her practice. Her works have appeared across Berlin’s experimental art circuit and beyond, each reweaving motifs of relational surveillance, ecological anxiety, and corporeal distance to turn viewers into participants and render boundaries soft and permeable. Welcome moments of irony and warmth surface like cracks in monochrome facades as reminders that even mediated connection throbs with life.
