Zeynep Yılmaz is a writer and performer born in 1999, İstanbul.
She weaves her practice through poetry and prose written based on the auditory, semantic and organizational conditions of language, looking at everyday contrasts. Pointing to a kind of theory of relativity among variable contexts, she is interested in the voicing of her texts. By using auto-fiction as a research tool, she transforms her production and process into site-specific installations, time-specific performances and publications.
Zeynep graduated from the Arts, Media and Society degree with a minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies from Leiden University in 2021. She has taken part with her artistic collaborations and exhibition texts in institutions such as The Royal Academy of Art The Hague, MUU Helsinki, White Box Oslo, Billytown, Gallery Kairos. In 2023 and 2024 her group exhibitions were shown in Garage Gallery Prague, Büyükada, Lab23 Den Haag, arthereistanbul. Her solo shows and performances took part in programs at Instrument Inventors (iii), The Grey Space in The Middle, 400x118 and 5533. Her poems and performance texts have been published and broadcasted in local and international printed media and radio channels.
