The Salon Presents: Elif Satanaya Özbay, à double trenchant
Presented by Shimmer, Rotterdam
In à double trenchant Elif Satanaya Özbay will present a collection of similarities: gathered, remembered, archived, to detail descriptions of visceral memories through popular culture and Circassian mythologies, in particular the tale of a war goddess, Nart Sane. à double trenchant runs for approximately 15 minutes.
Elif Satanaya Özbay is an Amsterdam-based artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans performances, installations, and essays. With a background in film, she draws from her Turkish-Circassian heritage and horror cinema to investigate narrative construction through montage, collage, and scenographic interventions.
Özbay's work reconfigures personal history, folklore, and pop culture, blending the familiar with the uncanny to explore the role of the unreliable narrator. Her layered, immersive works challenge conventional storytelling, creating speculative spaces that question cultural and historical narratives. Through this, she navigates the intersections of memory, myth, and materiality, crafting new meanings from recontextualized objects and stories.
