Since Im in Istanbul I've been collecting from
the street posters of clubs and events of the city.
After collecting them I manipulated using media
as collage and painting. I used free magazines from
the city and plastics bags from shops.
The main idea of the Tarlabasi project is to take the
posters from the busy and famous streets of the city
and convert them in a new art work, afterwads find
a new location, new place, which would never be
hung.
I walked around Tarlabasi and I realized was a poor
area and somehow dangerous with drugs and prostitution
problems. But for me makes much more sense to make
a street intervention in this area, out and away of nice
modern-fashion-cool city. The walls are alive and
unspoiled from publicity and others.
