The “Hide and Seek” exhibition, featuring Ece Haskan’s recent works, has met with art enthusiasts. This exhibition presents a platform where games and stories, the earliest manifestations of human creativity, meet the audience in various forms. Fairy tales, children’s games, costumes, and created images transform into metaphorical games and are imbued with different meanings by the artist.

Ece Haskan initiates a kind of hide and seek game, allowing the audience to discover and complete hidden concepts beyond what they can see. This situation leads to the evolution of reality perception into different dimensions in the human mind and questions the nature of reality by creating ambiguous gray areas with the multitude of meanings we assign to images.

In the “Hide and Seek” exhibition, Ece Haskan approaches the objective and subjective through her own perceptual experiences by making colorful interventions into the gray areas. Using irony, she combines the human body with objects without placing it on a hierarchical plane and addresses human creativity through the human body, while treating bizarre images with a positive reality. She creates ironic stories that confront the audience with inconsistencies in daily life, and while these stories have a pluralistic narrative, they shape the perception of time and space with uncertainties.

Ece Haskan’s works in the “Hide and Seek” exhibition stand out as compositions where subject and object representation intertwine in groundless forms. These works contain subjective experiences against objective views and exhibit a hidden and implicit attitude within possibilities. Interpreting her works is only possible through the correlation of consciousness and cultural codes in the light of subjective experiences.

Under the titles “Anthropomorphism as an Art Form,” “Multilayered Stories,” and “The Experience of Objects,” we can summarize Ece Haskan’s work. In “Anthropomorphism as an Art Form,” compositions are created by attributing human characteristics to non-human entities or objects. “Multilayered Stories” allows for existing tales and stories to be deformed, enabling new expressions.

Under the title “The Experience of Objects,” the narratives explore objects that have been defined either functionally in everyday life or imaginatively, and how they are matched with different experiences beyond their definitions. Ece Haskan’s works combine the complex relationship between object and subject, transforming into symbolic compositions that confront the viewer with the contradictions of daily life, using irony and analogy-based narratives.

Ece Haskan’s exhibition ‘Hide and Seek’ is at the Buyukdere35 Art Gallery.
