Deniz Şimşek

Deniz Şimşek studied film and art in Istanbul and Berlin. She explores the complex interactions between sociopolitical phenomena and personal fragments, and investigates the obscure connections that run through seemingly unrelated themes.

Portrait of Deniz Şimşek

Mónica Martins Nunes (artistic collaborator)

Navigating through different cinematic registers freely, Mónica Martins Nunes entwines poetry and reality in deceivingly simple films that yearn to unearth a wider understanding of both. She looks for materials, places, people, and traditions in the shadow of a fast and seemingly all-encompassing society.
