Performing Artist
Just Fa
Berlin, Germany
Just Fa is the solo project of Istanbul-born, Berlin-based violinist, sound artist, and interdisciplinary performer Fatmanur Şahin. Working at the intersection of music, performance, and experimental sound, she creates immersive sonic landscapes using violin, voice, synthesizers, field recordings, spoken word, loops, and live electronics.
Her practice is driven by curiosity, emotional complexity, and a desire to move beyond fixed artistic and personal identities. Through layered compositions that shift between melancholy, intensity, stillness, and trance-like repetition, she explores themes of memory, transformation, belonging, and the multiplicity of the self.
Drawing equally from improvisation and storytelling, Just Fa approaches each performance as a living process—an invitation into a space where sound becomes a vessel for emotion, imagination, and connection. Her work resists clear categorization, embracing contradiction, vulnerability, and the possibility of existing in many forms at once.

Artist Statement
Just Fa × Visuals by Müge Berkay
For Underground Garden, Just Fa presents an audiovisual performance in collaboration with the video artist Müge Berkay. Blending violin, voice, synthesisers, live electronics, and layered sound textures, Just Fa creates a shifting sonic landscape that moves between intimacy, melancholy, intensity, and trance-like repetition.
Responding to and expanding the sonic environment, Berkay's visuals unfold as a parallel narrative of light, texture, memory, and transformation. Together, sound and image create a fluid space where emotions, story fragments, and imagined worlds emerge and dissolve.
Rooted in improvisation and experimentation, the performance invites audiences into an atmosphere that is both dreamlike and visceral. In the context of Underground Garden, the work explores hidden inner landscapes, tracing the connections between memory, perception, and the unseen forces that shape our emotional worlds.
