Merve Morkoç, in her interdisciplinary work which underlines experimentality and brings together various mediums from painting, and video, to performance and installation; interprets the modern world’s consumption culture, the products of mass media with colourful images and collages through surrealist conception in which dream and reality, consciousness and unconsciousness are integrated. Genders, bodies and images abstracted from their identities and functions determined by society are consciously deformed and inserted into another reality with intentions to reach the undefined, free and living self which bends and twists. Merve Morkoç opposes the domination of the body and sexual identity with surrealist expressions and pop art references. The artist questions, through different mediums and materials, the definitions that have become dogma and unite them with a colourful freedom in her unique language.
