No Entry Allowed
No Entry Allowed is a photography based collage work that approaches urban details as elements that can be taken apart and reassembled. Each image is constructed from one or more photographs taken mainly in Istanbul, as well as in other Turkish cities. Shot with an ultra telephoto lens, the original images isolate small details such as surfaces, structures and moments that are insignificant and often escape attention.
In the second stage, these fragments are reassembled into new configurations. Fictional moments emerge through unexpected combinations, layering, and repetition. These compositions offer a personal reading of ongoing processes of decay, rebuilding, and transformation within the urban environment.
