Hoping to connect and being able to share art and ideas with other artists and art lovers.
Photographer of the night, of the subconcious. Burcu Guettler weaves her Photographs using time and light as raw materials. In her long time exposures, she walks with different torches in the photo, painting the scene with light, whereas the camera is used as a recording device of her interaction with the scene. Human being, nature and city, drawing again and again a triangle causing tension, where natural and urban structures struggle to gain the control over each other, and human beings as a part of the struggle, adapting, refusing, questioning, controlling and loosing the control.
Burcu Guettler has a masters degree in Photography and Cinema from the University of applied arts Dortmund, Germany, and having a second masters degree from Bielefeld University in Photography and Media.
She was amongst the finalists of the international Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2009. She had won in 2011 the Matching Funds Scholarship for excellent academic achievements.
Her work has been shown in museums and galleries in Germany and USA. She lives and works in Germany.
