Where is Istanbul?

2021

Involving interviews with a group of people who left Istanbul to settle in Mount Ida near the city of Çanakkale, the work deals with the transformation of Istanbul via its witnesses. The interviews, mainly based on rural-urban comparisons, reflect the traces of this transformation through individual experiences. In those witnesses, we also observe the diversification of rural-urban distinctions as the result of developments such as unrestrained expansion, the emergence of new necessities in urban life, economic concerns, and changes in work habits.
