İrem Sözen explores nonverbal communication in ‘Panorama: Dreams and Places’

A promotional item shared by İstanbul Modern on August 29, 2026, highlights İrem Sözen’s exploration of communication between living beings in ‘Panorama: Dreams and Places.’ The feature focuses on the ways animals and plants relate to their surroundings without relying on spoken or written words.

According to the accompanying text, Sözen begins from the idea that these relationships constitute forms of communication beyond language. The project approaches animals and plants through the distinct “universes” of each living being, directing attention to how life interacts with its environment.

The description presents the work as an investigation of nonverbal exchange rather than as an account based on dialogue or human-centered communication. Its central question is what animals and plants may communicate through their behavior, presence and relationships with the spaces around them.

The post identifies the project by the Turkish title ‘Panorama: Hayaller ve Yerler,’ translated in the supplied English headline as ‘Panorama: Dreams and Places.’ It does not provide details about the works included, the exhibition’s venue, its opening or closing dates, or any associated public programme.

The available announcement is limited to Sözen’s conceptual starting point and does not establish that the exhibition takes place at İstanbul Modern. No additional exhibition information is provided in the source material.
