Betül SefikaAbout

Betül Sefika is a poet, illustrator and visual artist based in Brussels. 

Her writings try to draw the formal attributes of their media into their content. Her visual work revolves mainly around materialising absence.

The requirements of a language that wants to refer to absence, without filling it’s void and becoming the subject, make that her figurative imagery is often of an intimate, airy, fragmented, deconstructed and/or small scaled quality.
Wijs de Weg Weg


Wijs de weg weg is a quest for a story from an existing archive of personal sketches. Because this collection consists mostly of rough drawings and studies, a lot of images depict the same idea in different ways. Sometimes that difference is very slight. Having this catalogue creates the possibility of saying the exact same thing with many different images.

The result is a fixed plot, a fixed form (hand drawn leporello publications) with fixed pages and different drawings in every version of the publication. The catalogue providing it’s imagery is ever-growing.
