Produced in parallel with Leylâ Gediz’s exhibition at the Bartolomeu Costa Cabral–designed building in Martim Moniz, Lisbon, this publication reflects on displacement, architecture, and the instability of backgrounds—both spatial and psychological. Borrowing its title from Photoshop terminology, Layer from Background collapses the hierarchy between figure and ground. Gediz’s paintings, shaped by her lived experience between Istanbul and Lisbon, open painting toward unrootedness, mobility, and shifting publics, allowing architecture itself to re-enter circulation as a living, shared space.
