Notes:

This artist’s book comprises selected drawings by İnci Eviner and the poetic texts she wrote in Büyükada, Istanbul, in 2023–2024, in a reflexive conversation with each drawing. Known for her work across various mediums such as drawing, video, performance, sculpture, and installation, Eviner, with this book, invites readers to explore her creative universe through her drawings and the accompanying texts that she crafted as if conversing with them. Published in two separate language editions, Turkish and English, the book is enriched by Eviner’s design concept and Ruslan Abasov’s design. Lying at the centre of İnci Eviner’s creative practice, drawing, for the artist, serves both as a means of expressing the unconscious and a tool for exploring her concepts. It is a space where the interplay between the conscious and unconscious can unfold, revealing the complex entanglement between the societal and the psychic. It also serves as the foundation upon which she discovers and develops new ideas, forms, and spatial constructs. Rooted in this foundation and continuously evolving with a boundless visual language, her work questions and challenges the forms of social, historical, and discursive representations and the underlying norms behind them. In Behind It Something Intimate, Eviner engages in a dialogue with her drawings and expands the multi-layered world that shapes them in a textual space that she shares with the readers.
