In an attempt to capture culture through photography, I started wondering what exactly displays culture. Can I see culture in a flag, when witnessing rituals and celebrations? Is culture made up by what stereotypes a group of people, or is culture constructed by daily thinking and decision making of individuals? In an attempt to capture some of the most basic constructs of culture, this blog post zooms in on Istanbul’s citizens most banal activities. No grand displays, no ceremonies, no nothing. Daily seemingly insignificant moments. Where daily banality excludes context, preconception is gone and a clear view can be attained.
