With the end of the "Peace Process" in 2015, I witnessed the clash between the PKK and the Government forces in the Sur district of Diyarbakır. I was a freelance journalist at that time, witnessing this terrible event caused me trauma. Years later, I turned these images in my archive into a documentary. I prepared this documentary by thinking about the witness, migration and city memory. After these images, the Sur district was destroyed, now absurd houses are being built, instead of the destroyed houses.
Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
