Based between Rotterdam and Istanbul, Cihad Caner (b. 1990) works primarily with photography, video, CGI, and sculpture.

His work examines quotidian objects and their positioning within the image culture; portrayal of the "other" in various media; and global urgencies shaped by wars, immigration, and resistance. Caner's recent work has been exhibited at the Finnish Museum of Photography, Helsinki; the Hong Kong Arts Center; the Art Museum of the Nanjing University of the Arts; the National Gallery of Iceland, Reykjavik; Galerie BOHAI, Hannover; Kasseler Kunstverein; Corridor Project Space, Amsterdam; Blitz Malta, Valletta; and the EYE Film Museum, Amsterdam. Caner has been an artist-in-residence at the ARCUS Project in Moriya (Japan), and received the Mondriaan Fonds Jong Talent grant in 2018.

He holds a Master's in Media Design and Communication from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam.
