Journal (2016-2017)

Photographs, archival pigment print, each 20x20 cm.

Between October 2016 and May 2017, I photographed the sky from my position in Istanbul every morning after dawn and every evening before dusk. I wrote the date under the photographs which give no information about what was happening below in a country at war and ruled under a state of emergency, at the same time witnessing an unprecedented destruction of natural and built environments. An installation of selected photographs was shown in the exhibition "Floating Tactics After a Sunken Island," curated by Sibel Horada at Daire Sanat, Istanbul (2017).
