Güle Güle is a journey through the multiple microcosms of Istanbul, moving away from stereotypical and touristic images to discover the most intimate and surprising aspects of the city. Here people, places and situations form a dense connective tissue, a mycelium of existences.

Güle Güle (goodbye in Turkish) is a personal project focused on the city of Istanbul. The photographs derive from multiple relationships to penetrate the complexity of the city in a dramatic moment of social and political mutation. Gentrification, the marginalisation of the poorer classes, the increasing discrimination of homosexuality, the massive influx of Syrian refugees and the issue of the Kurdish community are just some of the realities that are behind the subjects portrayed.
The project is mainly organized in diptychs, with a constant dialogue between the images. Reality is deconstructed and reconstructed, favouring a free interpretation.
Photographs have never been altered or retouched.
