Synopsis

• A focused look at the recent five years of work by Turkish-German artist Yeşim Akdeniz, known for her multi-layered explorations of migration, identity, and cultural codes
• Beyond a Catalogue: New Home is not just a record of artworks, but a thoughtful and dialogical publication—situating Akdeniz's work in wider discussions on history, belonging, and transformation
• For Readers Interested in Contemporary Art and Identity Politics: A compelling resource for those engaged in art theory, diaspora studies, and intercultural narratives in contemporary artistic practice
• Text in English and German

The monograph New Home offers a focused insight into the recent practice of Yeşim Akdeniz. Published on the occasion of her comprehensive exhibition at Galerie der Stadt Backnang, it brings together a foreword by Martin Schick, a text by Ela Atakan and a two-part interview with the artist conducted by Yekhan Pınarlıgil. Covering the past five years of her work, the book traces the ways in which themes of migration, identity, and cultural codes are transformed within Yeşim Akdeniz's artistic language. Designed by Ulaş Uğur, the publication itself becomes a reflection of the artists approach: its special folding cover and dual attached parts echo the layered structures present in her works. More than a catalogue, New Home is a document of dialogue and thought, situating Yeşim Akdeniz's recent production within a broader conversation on art, history, and belonging.

Text in English and German.
