Illusion City #3

Illusion City reflects the variety of Istanbul by its different and divergent zones, day and night, humid summers and ice cold winters, colorful neighborhoods and giant plazas, its never ending human and vehicle traffic.

This series is an expression of how we experience this city, kind of like a love and hate relationship. The city that is a cradle of civilizations now has become a concrete jungle. Our beautiful city and its citizens are now trying to find their own balance in this state of chaos.

We wanted to express these complex emotions with a long-form generative artwork since it is the most suitable medium to explore every possible combination of emotions we have about our city.

Best experienced in full screen.
