Aslı Çavuşoğlu was born in Istanbul in 1982. She graduated from the Department of Cinema and Television at Marmara University in 2004. Currently, she lives and works between Istanbul, Mexico City, and Gerogetown (USA). Much of Çavuşoğlu’s work stems from experimental narrative exercises working around mechanisms of erasure, repetition, replication and narrative interplay. She creates her art using various media, including artists′ books, videos, photography and installations. Çavuşoğlu has also produced several artists’ books, including Takip / Poursuite (2006), Caiet De Geografie (2006), The Unsubscribed Life of Peter Böse (2007), and In Patagonia after Bruce Chatwin (2009). In addition, she has acted as a guest editor for Pist Protta magazine (Copenhagen) and published numerous articles and essays in publications including Pazmaker and Artlies. She has had many exhibitions in Turkey and abroad. Cavuşoğlu won the grand prize of the Full Art Prize 2012, which was the first contemporary art prize of Turkey.
