Gülsen Özer is a multidisciplinary artist, choreographer, and curator whose practice bridges performance, sound, visual art, and public installations. Known for her collaborative, socially engaged and participatory work, Özer’s projects often bring art into public spaces and explore complex social dynamics. Her creative approach invites audiences into dynamic sensorial experiences that re-enchant embodiment, relationships, and presence.
Özer has presented artworks in museums and galleries, including MOMA, Arts Mildura, CLIMARTE Gallery, Yarra Ranges Regional Museum, Bunjil Place, and (on the grounds of) TWMA as well as performance spaces such as Malthouse Theatre, Dancehouse, Temeperance Hall, Theatreworks, CATI dans (Istanbul) and Arts House Melbourne. Her work spans from participatory installations and site-specific projects to large-scale community events, engaging diverse audiences in thought-provoking ways. With a practice deeply attuned to cultural and environmental contexts, Özer’s art uses mixed media to address themes of power, connection, and identity. She has produced two internationally acclaimed short films, Cascade and Split Rock, with collaborators Vanessa White and Ania Reynolds, and her public art projects bring meaningful stories to life through community engagement. Özer’s work embodies poetic and political layers, animating participant engagement and deepening connections through art that resonates across cultural boundaries. |
