Melek Zeynep Bulut

Melek Zeynep Bulut is an award-winning Turkish multidisciplinary artist and designer. Melek’s work synthesises space, experimental architecture, behavioural sciences and visual arts. She focuses on the complex interplay between material, experimental circulation fiction, and human consciousness, exploring and exhibiting how existence and subjectivity are shaped by space. Her practice employs a multilingual production technique, encompassing sculpture, installation, photography, performance, painting and video art.

The dynamic relationship between design and art, both distinct and ambiguous, has formed the central line of her work from the very beginning. In Melek's creations, the connections we establish with time, body, consciousness, society and the abstract aspects of everyday life transform into objects and materials, which are continually reshaped as spaces and visual connections. This process represents both a new and ancient language of communication. In addition to her design practice, Melek is also the founder and director of the creative, intellectual platform People Places Ideas (PPI), where she leads all Creative Strategy, Curation, Research and Art & Design & Culture Policy projects.
