The shifting position of the artist in the field of cultural inquiry in parallel with the emphasis on subjective truth replacing the objective basis in ethnographic research opens a shared ground for discussions between ethnography and art. Focusing on representations of displacement in contemporary art practice, the paper aims to understand different modalities of representing experience through studying the subjective responses of selected artists in the framework of ethnographic turn in art. The paper traces the figures of displacement within contemporary art criticism in parallel with the figurative language of contemporary social thought that manifests a thinking through spatial metaphors. In this regard, the cross field between ethnography and autoethnography in particular in relation to art practice is analyzed through case studies, in order to expand the interdisciplinary dialogue between these two distinctive forms of cultural inquiry. Instead of seeking methodological analogies between ethnography and art practice, the study focuses on this particular motivation of ethnographic work to capture reality and express experience. Beyond the mere replication of ethnographic methods that risks producing meagre ethnographies and restricting the emergence of possibilities across the distinctive practices of inquiry, the paper aims to locate the conversation between art and autoethnography on a transdisciplinary ground. In this way, the research strives to shift the focus from methodological disparities and mimicries towards the shared concerns of art and ethnography.
