Zeynep Demirhan
Creative Director & Visual Artist

Specializing in the intersection of cinematic storytelling and emerging technology. With over five years of experience, I transform brand identities and architectural spaces into immersive, sensory driven environments.

Our work bridges the gap between strategic brand vision and experiential art, developed through teams I assemble for each project. By leveraging large scale projection mapping, interactive installations, realtime generative visuals, and film shooting create high-impact spatial experiences that invite audiences to inhabit the narrative rather than just observe it.

Based between Türkiye and Europe, I collaborate with global brands and cultural institutions to deliver future forward content that informs, inspires, and endures.

Continual, (2025) is a 10-minute video work that explores the physical and mental transformations triggered by fear and panic. Shot in a laboratory setting, it captures a chemical reaction that forms a gel-like substance; metaphorically reflecting the inner shift during a panic attack. For the artist, these moments are linked to societal insecurity, where rising tension causes a disconnection from reality, accompanied by breathlessness, dizziness, and a racing heart.

When a person begins to lose her memory, does her presence in this world gradually disappear? What will her memories, emotions and feelings happen? Or can this state of forgetfulness be curative for some situations?
Looking for answers to these questions, Faces (2022) short documentary examines the interaction of memory, time and space in a visual context based on the experiences of director’s grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 16 years ago.
