Ritual of Rejoin

Buket YenidoĞan

 

Buket Yenidoğan is a research-based multimedia artist and speculative designer from Istanbul where East and West melt into each other.
Following a new materialist school of thought under the posthumanist umbrella, she conceives nature, culture and technology as a continuum and explores this continuum forming experimental research inquiries through feelings, senses and speculation. She continuously seeks new narratives on the climate crises by challenging climate anxiety to avoid disavowal and enact behaviour change starting from the subconscious and spiritual realms.

Ritual of Rejoin

Ritual of Rejoin is a part of the artist’s ongoing exploration of guided meditations as an artistic medium and a framework for sensorial storytelling using creative technologies. The starting point of an oceanic catastrophe has been fused with Hydra-feminism and Taoism, in the act of a speculative ritual. It is a crafted experience of surrendering to an empty, lifeless and vast ocean.
