Semih Zeki’s new exhibition, Autopoiesis showcases the cycle between demolitions, heaps and reconstruction. It’s starting point is the continuous renewal of living systems in order to survive, and the artist takes inspiration from the fields of psychology, social sciences and architecture. Zeki’s multi-layered paintings also mirror this concept: the artist first breaks the whole, then assembles the pieces and transforms and reproduces them.
