For the opening of DREAM 7, Banu Birecikligil is coming from Bodrum to Berlin to present her new Struwwelpeter series, the oil painting \u00bbThe Nocturnal Walk,\u00ab and selected prints from thirty years of painting. In addition, she will show the new video collaboration \u00bbDarkstar\u00ab with Tim Ra.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For thirty years, Banu Birecikligil has been painting dreamscapes where human, animal, and myth overlap. Her forests, vegetation, and cities are less places than states of consciousness. Figures trapped in social and personal constraints encounter beings within them that exist beyond alienation.<\/p>\n

At the center are three large-scale works on paper that interpret Struwwelpeter as an image of powerlessness and alienation. \u00bbI had such a feeling of decay in my own body or in my own soul,\u00ab the artist recalls the time they were made. In Turkish, there is a metaphor for this: the black water that flows into one's legs. Opposite them hangs \u00bbThe Nocturnal Walk\u00ab\u2014a female satyr roams a nocturnal landscape, next to a house emitting light.<\/p>\n

Together with Tim Ra, this painting has grown into a cinematic world. The satyr's journey leads through experienced suffering, pain, and tears to new growth. The key to this is empathy.<\/p>\n
