Overview
Works from Şakir Gökçebağ (b. 1965 in Denizli, Turkey; lives and works in Hamburg) are characterized by lightness, simplicity, and their special sense of humor. They consist of everyday objects, including umbrellas, carpets, and shoes, which have been cut up, rearranged, reassembled, and reproduced in various constellations. In doing so, the artist refers to the ornamental form, memory, and the fragility of perception.
