Do you still remember that in the movie "Inception", the seemingly normal world suddenly turned upside down, as if an invisible hand dug up a corner of the world from the ground level and rearranged it? Turkish artist Ayd? n Büyükta?s series of works "Flatland" also takes the surreal route of flipping the city. The difference is that the place he photographed is a real city - Istanbul!

Ayd?n Büyükta?s series of works was actually inspired by the satirical novel Flatland: a romance of many dimensions, in which the two-dimensional flatland citizens "squares" were fictionalized in the novel to express feelings about Victoria. A scathing commentary on the class system of the times.
However, in Ayd?n Büyükta?s works, there is no such serious discussion of the class system, but an overview of Istanbuls important attractions, such as Sultanahmet Square and the Grand Bazaar. ), Maltepe Stadium, etc. However, when the entire world of these attractions breaks the inertia of gravity and twists into arcs, and the streetscape extends towards the sky and bends at incredible angles, everyone must recognize it. They might need some work!

Ayd?n Büyükta? uses drones to take aerial shots, and then uses 3D software for post-production, making each picture look so familiar, but also full of surreal and incredible.
Ayd?n Büyükta? believes that when we usually live in the city, we seldom pay attention to the changes happening around us. We just cover the things that happen every day layer by layer on top of our original memories. However, through these distorted and deformed photos, a new dimension of vision has been created for everyone. Perhaps from many viewing angles, it can help everyone discover a surprising and stunning new world!
