Ayna Ayna (Mirror Mirror) offers a unique artistic experience that illuminates the world of multi-layered reflections and questions the concepts of identity and perception. Bringing together the works of nine artists, this exhibition reinterprets concepts of reality, self, and the other through the metaphor of mirrors in contemporary society.
Adorned with rainbow tones within a minimalist design aesthetic, Ayna Ayna takes its name from the magical mirrors in fairy tales and invites the viewer to confront their own reflections. Each artist re-examines the concept of the mirror from their unique perspective, revealing fragmented, distorted, or multiplied versions of reality.
Artists drawing from different disciplines of visual arts explore topics such as identity, body politics, digital selves, gender roles, and collective memory. Mirrors also emerge as a tool that blurs the boundaries between past and future, matter and spirit, real and virtual.
The works of Zeynep Abacı, Eyhan Çelik, Elifko, Tuba Geçgel, Güler Güçlü, Alla Güner, Gökçe İrten, Yonca Karakaş, and Damla Yalçın encourage us to look not only at our own inner confrontations but also at societal mirrors.
