The Methamorphose of Ayazma
L’ayazma est historiquement une source sanctuarisée, réputée pour ses propriétés thérapeutiques et bienfaisantes. C’est autour d’une de ces sources que s’est progressivement construit le quartier d’Ayazma, dans l’arrondissement de Küçükçekmece, en périphérie d’İstanbul. Contrairement à sa réputation originelle, ses eaux y sont devenues poison, conséquence d’un mode de développement urbain dénégateur. Son histoire est emblématique des bouleversements plus généraux qui ont affecté en quelques années la ville d’Istanbul, celle de l’altération irréversible d’un milieu et de ses ressources. Cette exposition photographique vous propose de replonger dans l’atmosphère de ce quartier et de mieux comprendre les enjeux qui s’y jouent à l’échelle locale comme dans tant d’autres franges urbaines.
