Biography
Can Yıldırım and Lalin Mercan develop complementary practices centred on storytelling, images, and systems of signs. Can Yıldırım explores the contemporary saturation of images and texts, bringing forth moments of rupture and intensity from linguistic and material fragments. Through drawing, installation, and sculpture, Lalin Mercan constructs hybrid narratives shaped by mythological, feminist, and autobiographical references. Working together, they create open-ended narrative forms in which images, objects, and stories become spaces for the reconfiguration of meaning.
