About this Item
Paperback. Behind It Something Intimate brings together a selection of Inci Eviner's drawings and the poetic texts she wrote between 2023 and 2024. Known for her multidisciplinary practice-including drawing, video, performance, sculpture, and installation-Eviner invites readers into an intimate dialogue between image and word. Each text responds to a drawing, revealing the inner landscapes that inform her evolving visual language. Drawing lies at the core of Eviner's artistic process, serving both as a means of unconscious expression and a space for conceptual inquiry. Her lines trace the tensions between the personal and the collective, the psychic and the political. Through this artist's book, she extends her creative process into a shared textual space, inviting readers to engage with her world. Enriched by the artist's own design concept, the book explores how drawing can challenge dominant forms of social, historical, and discursive representation.
