Dirimart is pleased to announce Fractures & Rhythm, a duo exhibition bringing together selected works by Seçkin Pirim and Jorinde Voigt. The exhibition establishes a dialogue between two artists, whose paper cut-out works translate personal experience into visual form. Both artists’ works seek a state of equilibrium between manual and digital realms, exploring the tension between the chaotic and the harmonious. Together, the works reflect a negotiation between the world’s imposing structures and the human desire for authenticity.
Seçkin Pirim’s works on paper emerge from deliberate interruptions to repetitive gestures. He transfers paper cut-outs – initially designed to generate symmetrical strata – into sculptural, intricate forms. Although Pirim was academically trained as a sculptor and his digitally conceived compositions appear as if carved from solid wood, each piece is in fact constructed through labour-intensive, layered sheets of paper. For the artist, this method echoes the means to overidentify with artists of the ancient times. Pirim’s recent series Grey Columns (2024) and Thorn Garden Series (2024) are based on his research on the ways in which ancient artists expressed themselves through architectural pillars, elements that continue to shape our understanding of ancient cities. The work Perspective (2025) is a variation of the Thorn Garden Series, depicting today’s digital interference that permeate Pirim’s own imaginative universe. His style reflects a reconnection with self and an ongoing quest for perseverance.
Jorinde Voigt’s practice centres on large-scale drawings on paper that encapsulate the natural flows underpinning human perception and engage with concepts such as reality, truth, and knowledge. Her works arise from her enduring curiosity about how beauty is generated by both nature and human intellect. Voigt relentlessly nourishes this inquisitiveness through process-led series. Developed in the midst of the Covid pandemic, the Rhythm series (2022) consists of sculptural recordings of movement: lines created in three dimensions through cutting, slicing, and layering coloured paper evoke blossoms and landscapes. This ongoing process of deconstruction and reconstruction explodes by interlocking rhythms of the world around us. Works from her series The Sum of All Best Practices (2021–22) are made from the cut-outs of individual leaves collected in Berlin parks and assembled into three-dimensional configurations, pointing to the infinite ways in which a single, specific object can be part of a broader system of complexity.
By placing Pirim’s sculptural cut-outs in dialogue with Voigt’s process-led constructions, Fractures & Rhythm reveals two distinct yet interconnected approaches to navigating chaos, harmony, and the search for coherence. The exhibition will be on view at Dirimart London from 15 January to 21 February 2026.
