Esra Oezen works as a visual artist in Braunschweig. Her work begins with visual media such as books, photographic materials, or technical devices, as well as with performative actions that make moments of appearance and disappearance perceptible. She engages with the conditions of media and processes of perception.

She studied Fine Arts at the HBK Braunschweig with Ciprian Mureșan, completed her Meisterschülerin degree under Corinna Schnitt, and also earned a Master’s in Communication Arts there. A DAAD-funded study period at Institut Teknologi Bandung in Indonesia further deepened her practice. Artist residencies and grants in Germany and abroad—including in Austria, Iceland, and Nepal—have continuously accompanied and informed her work.
