Utku Dedetaş

Utku Dedetas is an artist, lecturer, and designer;
working through fragile mechanics of memory, gathered narratives, and the act of remembering.
Focusing on his personal memoris, everyday social encounters, and the collisions of gathered narratives, Dedetaş’s practice seeks to make the hidden intersections of our personal realities visible. His art explores the fragile mechanics of memory. The act of remembering is never a perfect scene, but a glitched assembly of scattered components. By investigating how these reconstructions often diverge from reality, he examines the reimagined moments we piece together to live as a whole, building bridges between collective history and personal experience.
