Direct Landscape

2021

The video installation, which aims to visualize the political and financial elements of attempts at city planning. The piece focuses on the experiences of the citizens, as passively positioned in the face of this transformation. The work is based on the idea that the majority of metropolitan residents live their lives on an expansive and horizontal plane, and traces the transformation that is not entirely visible from this particular point of view. The political and socio-economic borders that emerged spontaneously because of the interventions in question or that were artificially implemented through methods such as gentrification are conveyed through the focal point of the emotional fluctuations they cause within the city.
