Invisible Cities, Istanbul

A research project I conducted whilst a lecturer at the London College of Communication. The project aim was inspired by Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities', and we were invited to visit & find ways to describe the city of Istanbul. I collected waste from 3 different parts of the city, each from within a one metre square area. The waste was mostly fragments, tiny remnants of activities, but highlighted the global nature of litter & wasted resources. I re-presented the findings on the gallery floor - ordered and organised back into a one metre square area. (Istanbul, 2003)
