About The Artwork

Hats hang from the ceilining .This hat's views still make you feel you're walking in that area with the old Istanbuliteses. Even if Istanbul residents disappear one by one, with their artworks, lives and the values left by their, courtesy and cultural wealth they slowly took off their hats to us and greeted us. She thinks especially the old Istanbulites miss the old Istanbul very much. HAT & PERA - '' If you want to see the sea ... '' As you walk through the relatively narrow streets of Pera and the wide main street Istiklal Street, you actually forget that the sea is a bit far. This is one of the seven hills of Istanbul and only the terraces of tall buildings have sea views. Even if the buildings impress you with their old and elegant decorations, look at the sky as you look at them as you raise their faces towards the sky and get bored in the crowd of people. This famous Turkish writer and poet Sebahattin Ali brings the following famous strings of his poem written in Sinop Prison: If you want to see the sea, Flip up overhead your face The sea is like the sky, Never mind heart, never mind. Even though the city is beautiful, it sometimes reminds her of the prison. In 2007 she recontructioned this installation for the movie "Fog and Night" by Turgut Yasalar adapted from Ahmet Ümit's book. İt has been exhibited in Artshop İstanbul (2003-2004).
