Maslak (Istanbul), Turquie. Palimpseste façonné à partir de mon image de l’ensemble immobilier ‘Mashattan’ (contraction de ‘Maslak’ et ‘Manhattan’) et d’une des autoroutes créées en réponse à la modernisation de Maslak (2011). L’image N&B datant des années 1960, montre des travaux de terrassement d’une nouvelle route à travers les champs de Maslak (archives personnelles de Monsieur Irfan Dağdelen)

The Mashattan project, Maslak (Istanbl), Turkey. Palimpsest fashioned from my picture of the Mashattan towers and the highway into Maslak (2011), created in response to the modernization of Maslak. The B&W picture from the 1960s (courtesy Mr. Irfan Dagdelen) shows men and equipment working to create a new road through the fields of Maslak. The name of this project underscores Maslak’s dream: to become Mashattan, the Manhattan of Istanbul.
