In the third volume of Tefrika Istanbul, Ci Demi portrays an unsettling cityscape without people and language.
Something is missing. What happens if you leave out people, animals, and language while telling a story about a city? “Notion of a City” is a beautifully peculiar portrayal of İstanbul.
We have imagined a city, built it. Is this it though, or just an idea of it? We walked these streets, learned our way back home; it was easy to get lost but we knew that wall with the graffiti on it, we turned left and then right (many times), and it was there.
Stripped off all the clues that tell someone where a place might be, the book portrays a city with no one and no language in it. There are, however, some signs of life: foliage and of course, construction sites. Some other questions you will ask yourself: Where is this? What city is this? Is this even a city?
