Seçkin Pirim 2000–2024
The monograph Seçkin Pirim 2000–2024 offers a comprehensive selection of Seçkin Pirim’s œuvre from the early 2000s to the present, tracing the evolution of his practice from the beginning of his career to today.
Each editioned copy of the publication features a unique cover designed and executed by Pirim himself as an original extension of his artistic practice. Structured around a chronological examination of Pirim’s œuvre in three periods, the book does not treat these phases as isolated or independent stages, but rather as a continuum of constant evolution shaped by the artist’s ongoing inquiries and explorations into the art of sculpture.
Enriched by curator Tommaso Tovaglieri’s analysis of the transformations in Pirim’s work and art historian Ebru Nalan Sülün’s essay situating the artist’s production within the history of sculpture in Turkey, the book also features Pirim’s personal reflections on each period as well as selected excerpts from previously published texts on his work. Edited by Erdem İlgi Akter, published as a bilingual edition in Turkish and English, the book stands out as a collector’s item.
