Kutlug Ataman
Serpentine Gallery, London
In his first survey exhibition in a public gallery in the United Kingdom, Turko-British artist and filmmaker Kutlug Ataman presents seven video installations that investigate key issues of individual identity within contemporary society. Working in a documentary style, Ataman explores the boundaries between reality and fiction as his subjects reveal their personalities through the telling of their own stories.
