Tuba Emiroğlu - Peyzaj Fragmanları

Landscape Fragments treat the landscape not as a fixed background, but as an archive where traces accumulate, disperse, and are reconstructed. Memory and witnessing are considered not merely human processes, but as a relational space extending to matter, living beings, and non-human entities. This approach reopens the discussion of the relationship between humans and nature and matter. Violence is considered a process that can be traced not only in moments of visible destruction, but also when relationships weaken, care and attention withdraw, and entanglements are interrupted. Practices such as tracing, sensing, and paying attention emerge as ways of making these relationships visible. Contact with the non-human produces a relationality based more on sensing than speaking, more on co-existence than on looking. This framework points to unexpected forms of resilience and new kinds of kinship alongside narratives of destruction and loss. Thus, it proposes a field of thought that opens up to other possibilities of co-existence. Tuba Emiroğlu completed her undergraduate studies at Ankara University's Faculty of Political Science, and then obtained her master's and doctoral degrees in Sociology from Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts. Her doctoral research focused on the island of Imroz (Gökçeada), exploring the witnessing of political violence, the decaying landscape, and hauntology. Emiroğlu is a researcher specializing in the body, movement, sensation, and landscape. Her work examines the relationships between the body, landscape, and non-human entities through sensory ethnography and place-based research practices. Drawing on her fieldwork in Gökçeada, Tuba explores the possibilities of thinking through images, sounds, smells, and the body, and continues to deepen this research through performances and interdisciplinary productions.
