About
Başak Tuna, Istanbul 1992, is a critical spatial practitioner, currently based in Rome, graduated in 2021 from the Design Academy Eindhoven with an MA in Contextual Design.
Her work investigates networks concerning human beings, infrastructures and power relations. Coming from an industrial design education, her artistic research feeds itself from the agency of everyday objects; she breaks, dissects, documents, intervenes, adds, substructs, overlays, and uses reverse engineering.
