Ergin Çavuşoğlu has attracted a lot of attention in recent years through his spatial-oriented video installations, sculptures and drawings. In 2003, he represented Turkey at the Venice Biennale. He finds his subjects in the transit spaces and on the migration routes of our globalised world. But his works are not of a documentary nature. On the contrary, they elevate both place and players to an aesthetic dimension. Çavuşoğlu, whose works are inspired by his own experiences of migration and living in different cultures, has a keen eye for structure and detail that enables him to achieve images of density and solitude. Çavuşoğlu’s exhibition rounds of this year’s general theme Video/Film.
