Istanbul - ClassicInspo/YourPast

This is the consequence of 'classic inspo' and 'your past'.

It is a collage that gets what I really like which has the cluster effect where you just don't really know where to look and there is always something to discover and the fact that it has space in it which I found out in this course really inspire me. On the other hand we have Istanbul, which is where I am from and the inspiration from a poem that I really like "İstanbul'u Dinliyorum " (which translates to I Listen Istanbul). This poem really helped me to understand this huge that I had no control whatsoever as a 10 years old kid. So I wanted to write something about it and the fact that Istanbul is the space that consumes you no matter who you are and how different you look in the city. As long as you are in Istanbul, you cannot afford to have someone or be somebody, which I found tiring but also fascinating.

I used Giorgio Armani's advertisement from Fall/Winter collection around 1988, this picture from space, and this picture from (I am guessing) around in a street on Arnavutköy in Istanbul. Of course I need to give credit to İstanbul'u Dinliyorum by Orhan Veli, you can find the translation from here.
