Moment & Memory, Postcard and Film Series
I benefited from the old postcards of the architectural and urban spaces in Istanbul. I photographed new photographs from almost the same point of view of these places in Istanbul. I shrunk these photos and made them into handmade scrap stamps on these postcards. On the back surfaces of these cards I used old and original historical handwritings. These writings were manuscripts written by people living in Istanbul for celebration purposes. I have thus brought about the change of these urban spaces over the years and the manuscripts of the people who lived in the past. My aim was to pay attention to the disappearance of the values of these people and places.
