In my work
Past, in Each of its Moments Be Citable – taking Istanbul as an example,
I read Walter Benjamin’s notes On the Concept of History as an artistic manifesto: With the desire to write my own poetic history of the city of Istanbul, I wander and document the city in multiple ways — giving recognition to what is usually dismissed as insignificant, in order to make visible the city’s resistance inscribed in the everyday and made it my task to brush history against the grain.
