Sultan Çoban’s works operate on the threshold between visual art and performance. She repeatedly draws on theatrical techniques as she stages dazzling role plays and re-enactments that raise complex questions about originality, identity and performance. In her work unveiling for a play (act II, scene I), she draws on the function of the theatre curtain (concealing or revealing) as an opportunity for a multi-layered exploration of self-censorship and all that remains off-scene.
