Coşar Kulaksız completed his undergraduate degree at Rutgers, New Jersey University (1997), his master’s degree in Marmara University Fine Arts Faculty of Art, Photography Department (2005) and received his proficiency in arts at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University Photography Department (2010). He has taken an active role in the formation process of the Photographic Arts Federation of Turkey and has undertaken the representation of FIAP (International Federation of Photography) in Turkey in 2004 and 2005. He coordinated the international relations of the Istanbul Photography Festival between 2016-2017 and took part in the curatorial team. He has exhibited and been awarded in many national and international competitions. He has been working as a company partner in DIFOLAB Digital Photography Laboratories since 2005; as consultant for international photography projects in Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum since 2005 and as the director of FOLKART’s international photography activities since 2015. Kulaksız’s practice focuses not on the reality, but on the reflection of the reality in the scenes he encounters in his own world. The artist, who goes one step beyond recording what exists and depicts what he sees, uses technology in his photographs both in shooting, processing and printing; thus, the factual reality in his frame ceases to be objective and acquires a subjective expression.
