PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
In-between Gestures brings together a series of hybrid moving image works that explore the intersection of domestic solitude and poetic observation. From the quiet pursuit of a missing sock to the reflective surfaces of New York City, Süheyla Noyan’s work lingers on overlooked details where language begins to falter and images take over. The works invite the viewer to dwell within the textures and transitions of everyday life.
