” The Display of Ceren Oykut’s work provides a unique experience that is very genuine and transparent. Her installation, ıncluding three works: The Shy Installation (since 2020), Map Of Neither (since 2021), and Still Here (since 2018), are exhibited in the same way they exist in the artist’s working space. The entire installation is made by bringing this working space into the exhibition, and it is no coincidence that it is named Room Untitled (2023). It comes from the opacity and liminality of this specific working room. The undefined status of this room, neither as an artist atelier, nor a home, makes it hard to categorize. It is a fragile yet a powerful space, and the space is mora about the process rather than a stable spatial platform.” *
