Talin Hazbar

Talin Hazbar works across architecture, art and design. Hazbar’s work is deeply connected to the surrounding landscape and its intricate materiality. Her work accentuates the importance of working within natural systems, experimenting with materials to understand the behaviour, challenge the properties, and recall natural built structures.

The interest lies on the macro and micro scale of the existing landscapes where certain behaviours occur. In her work, Impermanence is defined through creating structures that allow for organic growth within certain set of parameters where we control and predict its growth but always allow for unpredictable moments to exist. The process of materials transforming wither towards growth or decay allows Hazbar to understand the state of temporality that exists around and within us.

Hazbar intends to utilize her study of architecture and her research topics to contribute towards redefining materials experimentation, understanding the context of landscapes and implementing the research processes in art.
