Extimacy: Hayv Kahraman

Extimacy: Hayv Kahraman - Dubai; Third Line Gallery; 2012 - 20p; 21x15cm

Exhibition catalog. Hayv Kahraman returns to The Third Line with new work that tackles the complex relationships between gender and identity constructs; geopolitical and physiological boundaries; and, the perception of self vis-à-vis the demands of conformity within society. Six panels depicting women extracting a cross sectional slice of their own bodies encompass the gallery space. Expanding on her previous series, Kahraman’s depictions of these women personify a hybrid identity hinting to the affinity of dismembered bodies with fragmented geographical locations.
