Cemile Sahin Between art and life, 2025
Fine Art inkjet print mounted on aluminum
125 x 150 cm
Featuring an oversized weapon against a background suggesting a desert landscape on a large-scale wall-mounted aluminum panel, Between art and life, is a unique work. The motif was created by Sahin with an AI machine-learning image tool: first training it on her own work, Sahin used verbal prompts to generate specific pictures, and then fine-tune them, in effect employing AI as a tool for realizing images she had imagined. Printed on pearly-white photographic paper and mounted on aluminum, the panel combines images with short texts that introduce a deliberately ambiguous subtext: the phrases can be read as ironic, profound or sometimes simply meme-like and nonsensical.
