Through My Window
Harap Mescit Sk. in Gaziantep (Turkey). A place that was once known for being a neighbourhood where Armenian people lived and that was evicted and burned during the Armenian genocide of 1915. Today it serves as a refuge for dozens of Syrian families who take refuge in Gaziantep. The second step of the migration to Turkey. Turks often avoid these streets and despise these houses with still visible marks of their Armenian past. For two months I photographed everyday life on the street. A street that changes radically during the day. From the happiness of the day and the children playing in the street to the beatings and fights of the night. This series shows a small fragment of all the photographs taken from November 6 to December 31. The photographs are taken from the bathroom window of the room in which I temporarily reside.
