Zeynep Beler (she/her) is an Istanbul-based painter whose practice overlaps indispensably with photography and vernacular imagery. She is most interested in images with “no [share] value” that clutter a phone's camera roll, utilitarian or “bad” images lacking evident indexicality.

This new kind of latency is targeted towards suspending the ever more capricious attention of the user, inviting them into a threshold of anticipation and/or apprehension. As Beler works she stays alert to how her sensibility is being steered by algorithms, using devices in which the processes of seeing, photographing, and sharing are collapsed, and ultimately exploring ways of painting in collaboration with technology.
