Savas Boyraz

Sweden

Savas Boyraz focuses on portrait photography, documentary and fiction narratives. His work straddles the gap between nation state and cultural linguistic entities; he tries to shed light on the overlooked and omitted corners of societies and their history. Intertwining performance, photography and moving image in his works, Boyraz blurs the line between art and political activism.

Savas Boyraz (born 1980) lives and works in Sweden. He worked with Mezopotamya Cinema Collective, Istanbul between 1998 and 2006 and graduated from the Photography Department of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in 2009. He completed his Master’s Degree at University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm.
