Ostim and Ivedik İndustrial Zones, two industrial bottled gas tubes exploding the same day, ruptured bodies of workers, ruptured lives… Is justice possible for the ones who lost part of their heart? Families who lost their relatives in Ostim and Ivedik explosions are in search of “justice”. They try to relieve their pain with others who have experienced the same pain. The concepts in their minds are no longer the same with the ones before the explosion: Destiny, justice, womanhood, manhood… As families are in search of justice, the workers are tested by death everyday. In the face of all these, the machinery subsisting with all the arrogance and power go on working.
In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
