Interactive installation, 28 walnut wood printing stencils in variable size and workbench 90*110*200

…The artists researching Istanbul’s flora found plants endemic to the city and focused on those that are threatened by extinction because of the mega projects taking place in the Northern Forests. They drew 28 selected plants and produced stamps of these drawings. With these stamps that will be used in a performance which will take place every day of the exhibition at certain time slots, a print will be prepared as a gift to the visitors so that the image of these plants on the verge of extinction will be reproduced and they will spread back to the city through the visitor.  Kevser Güler
