Burhan Yılmaz's works examines the transformation of objects into fragments through economic and physical changes, and particularly re-signification of aspects of cultural objects like function and consumption. These works were realized by a series of different methods such as painting, installation, drawing, photography. They examine units, forms and systems through experimental interventions in different environments. It can be argued that the background of his works is a cumulative text consisting of concepts such as piece-whole-unit-fragment-repeat.
In his works, objects are included as fragments. Functions, images and forms of these objects are transformed into ironic meaning or meaninglessness. The energy of the inanimate things that exist in the objects that are seen in the works is turned on by the touch of the artist. This makes it possible to create a movement from the individual window of the artist towards aesthetic, political, and basic act of life.
