Wonderland. 2013
Video, 8'26''
The work Wonderland is realized in collaboration with the hip-hop group Tahribad-ı isyan. The piece bears witness to the anger and frustration of a group of youths from the historic Sulukule neighborhood of Istanbul. The neighborhood is home to Romani communities since the times of Byzantine Empire but is being increasingly demolished as part of an urban development project led by the government and the private sector. The specially written lyrics of the song is the way the young men of the hip-hop group have chosen to tell the story of the neighborhood and speak about inequality and gentrification. Although the story of Wonderland is closely connected to the context, repercussions of similar stories can be encountered all over the world.
