During the project <i>Istanbul</i> different ideas came to my mind. I initially wanted to explore the residential areas in Istanbul in order to find Gecekondus. Well, in the end I actually did that, but in between I found myself distracted by other experiments such as <i>Surrogates</i>. According to my project progression the following notes depict my step-by-step development. | During the project <i>Istanbul</i> different ideas came to my mind.

made a brief journey through the residential area Zeytinburnu which is farther west of the city centre. There, I strolled along the blocks and parks and took a lot of pictures. My underlying idea was to find Gecekondus in that certain place. It is known as a former place where rural people from Turkey settled down to set up their simply made houses 'over night' ('gece'= night, 'kondu' = build). It took me some time to actually find those buildings. Luckily I discovered a few of them right next to newly constructed appartement buildings. It couldn't look any better: residential highrise put side by side and in between a ramshackle hut. | made a brief journey through the residential area Zeytinburnu which is farther west of the city centre.
