Description
Elsewhere is a series about dislocation—bodies present in spaces they do not belong to, or no longer remember. Set in terraces, alleyways, backyards, and in-between zones of the modern city, these photographs imagine the nude not in nature, nor in interior, but in a third space: public yet abandoned, familiar yet estranged.
Burak Bulut Yildirim has photographed nude bodies in cities across Europe for nearly two decades, capturing moments where the skin meets concrete, laundry lines, subway walls, and the soft edges of forgotten architecture. These are not protests nor performances—they are quiet appearances. The body is not asserting itself, but simply existing where it is not expected to. Like ghosts from a theatre long closed, these figures inhabit a kind of urban unreality. There is an echo of Francesca Woodman's “House" series, or the playful tension in Sophie Calle's spatial games. Each figure is both present and misplaced, transforming a balcony into a stage, or a fire escape into a shrine.
Elsewhere also speaks to psychological geography. What does it mean to inhabit a space as if one is not meant to be there? These images exist in the gap between private gesture and public exposure. The city becomes a silent collaborator—an indifferent witness. Through these limited edition prints, collectors are invited into a narrative of displacement, poetic intervention, and the delicate friction between body and built environment. Elsewhere is not just a place—it is a condition.
Limited Edition of 5 prints.
Printed on museum-quality, archival Hahnemühle Fine Art paper, each artwork is meticulously proofed, inspected, and carefully packaged rolled in a protective tube. Every print includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist, certifying its limited edition status.
Presentation
Burak Bulut Yıldırım (b. 1982) is a Berlin-based photographer, artist, curator, and educator. He began in Istanbul as an arts journalist before turning to photography, and opened his first studio there in 2005. His fine-art work treats the body as a medium shaped by light, in-camera optics, physical material, and space. It moves between intimate portraiture, performative photography, and the nude.
His series include UnNude; Chimera; Dysmorphia; Motus; In Haste; Stills; Ecotone; Only You Are Close, When Everything Is Far Away; Elsewhere; Niche; Antemortem; Melancholia; Lucida; and Crave. Several of them are closely related: Dysmorphia to Chimera, In Haste and Stills to Motus, and Only You Are Close, When Everything Is Far Away to Ecotone. Across them, the body appears as landscape, architecture, light, and inner state, shaped in front of the camera by bent mirrors, long exposure, ultraviolet light, and pigment. Some series follow the body as it dissolves into a room, a shoreline, or the trace of its own movement; others read in it melancholy, desire, or the nearness of an ending.
His photographs have been shown in solo and group exhibitions across Europe, including UnNude: The Architecture of the Body at Die Akt Galerie, Berlin (2025); Portraits, Fogae Gallery, Zurich (2025); Dress Code: Light, Die Akt Galerie, Berlin (2024); Eros & Thanatos, Uxval Gochez Gallery, Barcelona (2023); Bodies in Movement, Loosen Art Gallery, Rome (2019); Black Light and In Haste at Volksbank Gallery and Abraham-Gumbel-Saal, Heilbronn (2019); and In Haste at Pinelo Art Gallery, Istanbul (2014). In 2025 he presented his work at The Other Art Fair, London. In 2026, work from Lucida was included in URBAN Exhibits: Photo Days Tour, part of Trieste Photo Days, at Mercato Coperto, Trieste.
Alongside his own practice, he works as a curator. His curatorial project Nudes of Istanbul, with fourteen photographers and three model-authors from Istanbul, opened at Die Akt Galerie, Berlin (3 to 19 July 2026) and travels to Uxval Gochez Gallery, Barcelona (20 November to 4 December 2026). It is accompanied by an English-language hardcover photobook published by Mijuk Papers, Berlin (ISBN 978-3-00-087439-0), held by the National Art Library at the V&A in London, the Istanbul Modern Library and the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek. A short documentary on the project, Nudes of Istanbul: The Body and the Room, directed by Meryem Aydın, was selected for LOOP City Screen at LOOP Barcelona 2026 and will be screened at the gallery on 20 and 21 November. His earlier curatorial project LandsNude was presented at Artcore Gallery, Thessaloniki, in 2015.
As an educator, he has mentored more than 5,000 photography students.
His work has been reviewed by curator Michael Hanna for Aedra Fine Arts. He received Honorable Mentions at the International Photography Awards in 2012 and 2017. Dysmorphia received an Honorable Mention at the 2024 Annual Photography Awards in the Body & Nudes category. Selected works are held in private collections and are available as archival pigment prints in editions of 5 + 1 AP.
He has been a Sony Europe Imaging Ambassador since 2018. He is a member of the Bund Professioneller Portraitfotografen (BPP) and the Royal Photographic Society, and holds the International Artist Card of the IGBK (Internationale Gesellschaft der Bildenden Künste).
