As part of our 3 Years On: Becoming Home event, Initiative Hayde is delighted to present you with a pop-up exhibition.

Location: Pluto & Planeta Za
Opening: 8th of February, 14.00
Introduction and Speech: 15.00
Curator: Emin Akyar (@meminakyar )

Three years after the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, the exhibition resists the idea that disaster ends neatly, asking instead how “home” is made: patiently, collectively, and often in motion, long after headlines fade.

Here, Daniel Solovev’s (@_danielsolovev_ ) diary-esque ink print works trace kebab shops in Aachen as “lighthouses” of warmth and access, mapping the in‑between of emigration and the shifting will to integrate; Anna Dedecek (@cu1dat3 ) photo‑quilts family archives and personal ephemera into a fabric of memory where broken weaves acknowledge what doesn’t connect, holding exile, loss, and return without pretending to mend it all; and Goode’s (@goode.colorist ) homemade optics and infrared images bend light into a poetics of recollection, where memory flickers like a frame caught between what is and what was.

Together, these works open a space where belonging is formed through care, routine, improvisation, and repair.
Together, reminding us that “becoming home” is less a destination than a practice. taken in Planeta Za by @meminakyar

Karpuchina Gallery is delighted to announce its participation in the Curated Selection at 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗜𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗯𝘂𝗹!

Liza Libenko, Julius Reichel, Eda Şarman, Serkan Yüksel — As if Alive

Curator: Emin Akyar @meminakyar

@artweeksistanbul October 15–26, 2025

In an age defined by accelerating technologies, blurred boundaries between organic and artificial life, and shifting cultural narratives, the question of what it means to be human grows increasingly complex. This exhibition situates itself within the tension of the Uncanny Valley – the unsettling emotional terrain where things appear human-like yet remain unfamiliar – and extends it toward visions of a Post-AI humanity.

The selected works of Julius Reichel and Liza Libenko from the renowned Karpuchina Gallery (CZ), and the Turkish artists Serkan Yuksel and Eda Sarman, collectively explore a space where human, machine, and nature intermingle. They speak to the fragile, often uncanny, sensations that arise when our reflection in the world no longer fully belongs to us: when a face, a body, or a symbol is nearly recognisable but not quite; when the future appears at once utopian and dystopian; when technological artifice fuses seamlessly with organic forms.

These are the behind the scenes photos that were taken by me and the lovely @samduckett and @hypnosekate during our journey so far while shooting this documentary. Even if we were looking very burnt out, we were just as happy to be doing what we do. Right now, we really need your help to see this project to completion. With love. 🤍 @windfromtheeast21 taken in Istanbul, Turkey by @meminakyar
