alize zorlutuna
Alize Zorlutuna is a Vancouver-based artist and writer who works with a diverse range of mediums. Incorporating found objects, textiles, performance, video, poetry and audio, her work draws upon her experience as an individual living between two cultures. Negotiating multiple perspectives simultaneously, this embodied liminality informs her creative practice; manifesting in explorations of interstices. The desire to activate interstices where differing perspectives, emotions, and physical entities meet, and the meanings created in those meetings rests at the heart of her work.
