Ahmet Rüstem-Hakan Sorar

Ahmet Rüstem and Hakan Sorar are a duo of artists who develop their artistic practices with an interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of art, design, and technology. Ahmet Rüstem, as a versatile artist, focuses on the intersection of the body, architecture, and optical perception, particularly exploring the transformative nature of spaces through the lens of gender and experience. While working on these topics in a digital environment, he effectively uses the storytelling language of archaeological surfaces.

Hakan Sorar, on the other hand, is a versatile artist who began his artistic journey with photography and continues to explore the potential of digital image creation. Focusing on themes such as the body, texture, archaeology, traces, and spatial relationships, he integrates these themes with new media technologies. In their collaborations, the duo often uses elements such as space, digital bodies, set design, material variety, and archaeological data.

Their works, created together with the aim of recording the past and experiences while leaving data and possibilities for the future, have been exhibited at international festivals and exhibitions, reflecting both artists' interdisciplinary approaches and the integration of art and technology. Ahmet Rüstem Ekici and Hakan Sorar continue their journey as a duo pushing the boundaries of digital tools and offering innovative experiences to the audience at their studios in Istanbul.
