ASLI SERBEST / MONA MAHALL

Asli Serbest and Mona Mahall work in collaborations across spatial, image, sound, and text practices, at the intersection of art and architecture. They often begin their projects by investigating minor finds, fragments, figures, sites, and rites that exhibit discrepancies, but imply spatial agility and generosity, as well as poetic and political possibilities. Whether it be in the form of installation, model, video, sound, exhibition, or publication, all their projects follow a feminist methodology.

Digital Twin

As such, their projects constitute less fixed spaces and objects than non-linear physical or digital versions and speculations that share an interest in serial variation and possible distortions of form and scale.

Homes of the Internet

They play and replay architectural histories, events, and movements and rethink the re-production of space and implied power relations.
