Biography

Ali Alışır was born in Istanbul in 1978. His art education began in 1996 upon being awarded a scholarship by the Faculty of Fine Arts from the University of Yeditepe. He obtained his master’s degree in photography from the Accademia Italiana in Florence, where he majored in digital editing. Ali Alışır’s past exhibitions “Virtual Bodies”, “Virtual Places”, “Virtual Wars” and “Virtual Landscapes”, explored the desperation and helplessness experienced by individuals in a world of constant media overload. These exhibitions examined more closely the virtual and artificial worlds that are created in response to the digital age.
