Istanbul Istanbul

SOLO EXHIBITION

14th Istanbul Photography Days, Taksim Art Gallery, 18 November 1998

Istanbul has always been a meeting point of different cultures, civilizations and continents. Over the centuries, it has been a great inspiration for those who have slanted to it; with its unique geography and splendid history. In the short history of the photographic art; the images that has taken for Istanbul reflect the most basic characteristic of theirselves: Their times…

We have also believed that it is an important task to photograph today’s Istanbul. Works that we accomplished between the time period of 1996-1998; we used black/white and colored photographic elements together. We worked with this style thus, it could be a link to this multi-culturel and colorful structure of Istanbul.
