In 2012, Ibrahim Karakutuk began to perceive photography as a form of narrative. The artist who produces lens-based works obtains a language that will work with the subject by changing the language in a way that best suits the form of the subject he wants to express. Karakütük, one of the founders of Fotolab Print Space in collaboration with Ka Atölye, won the best model book award by the FUAM Kassel joint jury at the Istanbul Photobook Festival (2017) with his book Wet Sorrow. He produced four different books from 2013 to 2017: Vitrivirus Man (2013, independent publication), My Father (2013, independent publication), -3 (2014, independent publication) and Wet Sorrow (2017, Masa). The works of the artist were exhibited together with artists such as Erol Akyavas, Mübin Orhon, and Candeğer Furtun in the exhibition “Meleklerin Payı”, one of the parallel events of the 15th Istanbul Biennial, organized by Galeri Nev at Tutun Deposu in 2017. He was seen in the NevNesil "Monomit" exhibition in 2018, in the "Golden Age" exhibition held on the occasion of Galeri Nev's 35th anniversary, and lastly in the "Zigzags in the Chest Cavity" solo exhibition in 2022 at Galeri Nev Ankara.
