Moving Across and Beyond the Line

By Roger Malbert

Istanbul-based İnci Eviner's most comprehensive monograph, presenting a dynamic world where drawings evolve across media, weaving humor, violence, and politics into a living, interconnected universe. Text in English and Turkish.

İnci Eviner: Moving Across and Beyond the Line is the most comprehensive monograph to date on the Istanbul-based artist and academic, spanning her practice from early 2000s to present. Rooted in drawing yet multiplied across diverse media--video, performance, sculpture, costume, and writing--Eviner's works form a living ecosystem: interconnected, mutable, and perpetually in flux. Uncanniness emerges at the intersection of humor and violence, where rigid taxonomies collapse, and a network of shifting forms resists linearity and Cartesian logic. Deeply political, Eviner's practice does not simply address collective and socio-cultural realities but is inherently embedded within them. The figures inhabiting her universe appear and reappear across media, continually transforming while maintaining dialogic relationships with the artist herself. Featuring insightful essays by Roger Malbert and Heinz Peter Schwerfel, this richly illustrated volume unfolds Eviner's oeuvre as a constellation of doorways--each leading elsewhere, yet all rooted in the generative act of drawing.
