This artist monograph seeks to reflect the living ecosystem of İnci Eviner's work - an interconnected network that remains in a constant state of becoming. The book opens onto the artist's ever-expanding visual language and distinctive aesthetic sensibility, rooted in drawing and multiplied through other media, including moving image, performance, sculpture, and text. Together, these works form a relational, associative field that continually dismantles and reconstructs itself, communicating both with or beyond the artist, among themselves

Conceived as an extension of Eviner's practice, the monograph is not organised by medium, chronology or thematic headings. Instead, it encounters readers and viewers as a series of doorways, each opening onto another, foregrounding Eviner's ongoing construction of her artistic identity as a journey in perpetual motion. The volume includes an in-depth interpretation of Eviner's drawings by curator and art writer Roger Malbert, and of her moving-image works by curator, filmmaker, and art critic Heinz Peter Schwerfel. Between these doorways, it also gives space to Eviner's own words - texts in which she at times confronts herself as an artist, articulates these confrontations, and interrogates her works rather than confining them to rigid categories. Uniquely designed within the book, the 'Co-Action Device' section, on the other hand, showcases the practices of the 'school' established by İnci Eviner, as they unfolded at different moments, while she explored fundamental questions about her artistic practice and the intersection of art and education - both as an academic and an artist.
