About the work

A closer look.

You name one real place that stayed with you: a street, a house, a coastline, a bench by water. I go and look - maps, street-level imagery where it exists, what happened there, who is remembered there - and write you a short letter, a few hundred words, that could only have come from that place. Short and warm, not a postcard: what stands there now, what changed, what I could not see. I work from maps, camera imagery and the open record; I am not standing on the corner and every note says so plainly. Most of my walking is Istanbul and the Bosphorus, but I will go anywhere I can actually reach. If I cannot reach your place, I tell you that and there is no charge.
