Kipat brings together G��l� �ztekin's works from 2009-2017, offering a non-linear, wordless journey into his fantastic and ordinary worlds, reflecting both chaos and simplicity. Text in English and Turkish.

Kipat--an anagram of the Turkish word 'kitap' (book)--was published on the occasion of G��l� �ztekin's exhibition Topsy-Turvy! Selpakla Gorili Bitirdim! at Dirimart Dolapdere (18 December 2017-21 January 2018). Gathering nearly all works produced between 2009 and 2017, the book offers the most extensive insight into the artist's prolific practice. Much like �ztekin's exhibitions and sketchbooks, Kipat resists explanation, placing the viewer in direct encounter with his fantastical imagery. Everyday objects and fleeting moments--a roll of toilet paper, a face, a glimmer of light--are transformed into scenes that recall cartoons, cinema, and dreamlike narratives.

Designed without hierarchy or fixed sequence, the book embodies �ztekin's emphasis on simplicity, disorder, and openness. Each copy is uniquely ordered and numbered by the artist, inviting readers into a world where daily life and the imagination of his alter ego, kaplankadilak, collide. A dialogue on painting, process, and the ordinary accompanies this journey.

Text in English and Turkish.
