Published on the occasion of her solo exhibition, Leyla Yenirce: So Much Energy, Kunsthaus Hamburg, Germany
October 15 - December 4, 2022
In her artistic practice, Leyla Yenirce deals multi-medially with figurations of resistance as well as cultural, medial and military structures of dominance. In particular, in her expansive installations, the artist connects what is too often assumed to be opposites––Feminism and war, pop culture and genocide, desire, longing and irony––and examines the conceptual level of images of martyrs. The book accompanies her exhibition SO MUCH ENERGY at Kunsthaus Hamburg.

"If Only I Knew How to Disappear" by Mazlum Nergiz
