Gülce is a now London-based artist with an
economics background from Izmir/Turkey.

She symbolically visualizes women- government relationships, women's manipulated experience to land/nature, the societal expectation of being the "nurturer" and their association to themselves and to their sexuality. She uses the veil as one of her key objects to speculate stereo-type representations of women of the Middle East. She often works on the tension between the five senses and the veil.

Inevitably her practice expands on the intersection between women and authoritarian technologies which started as a response to the rising political Islam in Turkey and then expanded to citizen-state/ body-city dynamics in London. (These technologies can be anything from pasteurization to facial recognition.) The inverted film negatives with cityscapes draw attention to the surveillance state, captured as if from a CCTV camera, with the gaze being turned back to the city from the body. Whereas the body parts are always kept "positive". Power shift from authority to citizen.

She uses moving image, photography or installations. She writes/shoots/edits her own short movies. Her recent shows include
with fists, it kicks, it bites
in Webber Gallery and she is currently an artist in residence in SW Darkroom.
