Fatma Belkıs (1985, Antalya) is interested in narratives of individuals going through a transformation, specifically the ones who do not do this alone. She works with text, video, and printed matter. While problematizing structures built on friendship and comradery, she focuses on contracts and the breaches of these contracts regarding these structures. She aims to weave a web tying notions like loss, grief, negotiation, conflict, digestion, disappointment, and failure. She finds marshes fascinating and she thinks cats are ideal roommates.
Her works were shown in Istanbul and Sharjah Biennials and in institutions such as Istanbul Modern, DEPO, nGbK, Tensta Konsthall. The films she directed were shown at international film festivals in Turkey and Europe.
Fatma Belkıs lives in İstanbul.
