Descrizione Opera / Biografia


I confront the impulse to hide, connected to my Autism, through a dialogue with the space, utilizing photographic installations inserted into marginal areas of the location. Self-portraiture is the central characteristic of the work: I place the image of my body in liminal spaces and corners to visually express both the desire to disappear and the act of existing.
BIO ///
Tunahan Havrandere (2003) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist from Turkey based in Bologna. Their work explores the psychological and perceptual tensions between the internal and external worlds. Coming from a family of designers, Tunahan developed an interest in the visual arts from an early age and began engaging with artistic education early in life.
In 2021, they began studying Sculpture at Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir, and in 2022 they transferred to the Sculpture programme at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, where they still continue their studies and artistic development. In 2025, they took part in an Erasmus programme in BA Fine Arts at the University of the Arts London and participated in a short-term exchange programme focused on graphic arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. During their time in Bologna, their work has been included in group exhibitions at P420, Kappa-Noun, Museo Lercaro, Adiacenze, and Villa delle Rose.
