Seher Uysal (b. 1983) is a visual artist and researcher based in Istanbul. Inquiries into everyday life often shape her artistic practice and her works include research based reflections on spatial, historical or cultural conditions. She is interested in the exploration of manifold perspectives and understandings of phenomenon, social memory, fact and fiction and specifically how people deal with the weight of cultural heritage and expectation regarding it. Recently Uysal has been exploring specific sites such as family homesteads, recreational monuments and an old wood sculptors workshop from the early 1900s in rural Sweden. These explorations focus on storytelling and narration in relation to common hearsay, often misunderstood or disputed. Her practice avoids nostalgia and rather focuses on the shifting meaning and representation of cultural heritage sites, both tangible and intangible.
