Kedi Evleri Istanbul (2019-2022)
The millions of cats living in Istanbul are not pets. They are collective companions, fed and cared for by residents of the city’s neighbourhoods. ‘Kedi Evleri’ is Turkish for ‘cat houses’. This series focuses on cat shelters provided either by benevolent individuals or by the municipality. From prefabricated constructions, artisanal houses, and simple boxes with a cushion, these shelters testify to the love that the inhabitants of Istanbul have for their cats.
