Bodies of Desires – In Person: Nazlı Dinçel

Nazlı Dinçel's predominantly analog work is characterized by her work on the body, which she always stages as an object of desire. The use of texts that Dinçel carves into the material by hand, frame by frame, or the use of mirrors are among her trademarks, as are very personal narratives in first-person form. The relationship between the lover and the beloved, early sexual experiences, or an abortion are unabashedly discussed. At the same time, Dinçel makes her socialization in a conservative Muslim family tangible. "Don't imitate" or "Try to make the most original shots" are just two instructions from her most recent film Instructions on How to Make a Film, which provide an attempt at explaining the almost haptic power of her visual work.
