Nazlı Dinçel’s work reflects on experiences of disruption. They record the body in context with arousal, immigration, dislocation and desire in juxtaposition with the medium’s material: texture, color and the passing of emulsion. Their use of text as image, language and sound attempts the failure of memory and their own displacement within a western society. Born in Ankara, Turkey, Nazlı Dinçel came as an immigrant to the United States at the age of 17. Their works have been exhibited in numerous solo and programmed screenings around the world including Tiger Shorts competition at IFFR, Museum of Moving Image, Edinburgh International Film Festival and Dallas Contemporary Art Museum. They won the title for Best Experimental Film at the Chicago Underground Film Festival in 2015 with Her Silent Seaming (2014).Free Trial Channels
