bestiarum vocabulum
Bestiarum Vocabulum (Acâibü’l Mahlûkât) situates seven hybrid animal sculptures within a cave in Cappadocia, a landscape shaped by underground life and non-linear temporalities. Drawing on medieval bestiaries, Anatolian cosmologies, and shamanic passages between worlds, the installation imagines creatures that emerge through the cave as beings of layered genealogies—neither relics of the past nor fixed forms. In this space, the human and the more-than-human, myth and matter intertwine, proposing a shared ontology of becoming in which bodies, land, and time continuously remake one another.
