In Becoming Unreal the camera floats through urban mega-projects of Istanbul like modern mosques, the new airport and various hotel buildings. These spaces are marked by an emptiness, as they embody more of a trophy, a sculpture or an object and have no longer anything to do with the human body. A ghostly absence characterizes the buildings. They are like an immaculate representative facade, one of concealment and hiding. A facade made up of complicated shell companies and offshore providers.
