The translation of the writing on the banner:
"There are a couple of broken and short lanes. Somewhere in the middle, three strikes one another, scatter, and some vanish. Again, from the confused, broken central line, two smaller lines leave, one to the hard left and one to the right. The line going left is so distinguished that it splits the surface into two uneven parts. The shape is determined by the triangular, broken, and short lines on the left; on the right, a slightly broken but unsevered line passes right through the middle of everything. It couldn’t reach the end from two sides, and on the hard right, a broken yet very sharp line made it to the end but vanished at another point."

{İniş çıkış yukarı aşağı}, translates as ‘ups and downs’, is made up of banners placed on streetlamps in six different locations in one of the neighborhoods of Istanbul. For this work, which took inspiration from the book of Mau­rice Blanchot named “Death Sentence,” I asked five of my friends to take photos of their palms and send them to me. Adding my palm alongside theirs, I described the lines on our palms with the utmost precision as if a geometrician gives coordinates of a topology. I wanted each palm text to create its own objects and hallucinatory reality.
