Visual artist based in Amsterdam.

In her work, Muge Yilmaz examines the paradoxes inherent to ideas of protection with a strong sense of community,
survival and belief (faith). Through performances, photographs and installations she creates atmospheres inspired by
feminist science-fiction. Following the concept of three ecologies for observing the mental (subjective), societal and
environmental developments in a parallel method, she uses image and performance as tools for envisioning
potential futures. By keeping protection as a common denominator, her research creates speculations on preservation
and scarcity. She constantly looks for trigger points in shape of visual manifestations that provoke
subconscious reflexes and reactions. (2020)
