With a background in industrial design, Cem Örgen’s interest in material processes, functions, and standards oriented his practice towards subjective and situated movements instead of mass circulation. The artist examines the moral dilemma and nausea caused by the acceleration of everyday stimuli, online and offline social interactions, and desires. He values the search for shared and collective memory in hidden, rushed, and isolated settings, using installation, found objects, photography, sculpture, video, and painting. Often starting from his own writing and carrying subtle references to the artist’s personal memory and experience, his exhibitions explore the intertwined materialities of natural elements and artifacts, reserved emotions, digital infrastructures, material histories, and production processes. Mostly operating as embodiments of affective states and processes expressed through meticulous material control, they appear at once organic and artificial, spanning sculpture, drawing, assemblage, text, and sound.
