Actualizing political, economical,\u000bsocial and other aspects of everyday life. The installation is metaphor of collecting daily newspapers that was coming up in Istanbul in period September- October 2006; On the other hand writing of poem \u201cHowl\u201d on the walls evokes the period after WWII in USA. Allen Ginsberg is best known for his poem Howl, a long poem, attacking American values of the 1950s. The words of the poem are written on the walls in several big columns and every column with its form creates drawing. Newspapers are symbolizing actual time and space, existence in a curtain place and time, which is in this case Istanbul in autumn 2006. The words of the poem \u201cHowl\u201d on the walls are leading us back in time, in the period and atmosphere of fifties of 20thCentury on streets of NYC, period after Second World War. \u000b\u000bBringing these two different periods, different places, different occasions and time in one installation, make us discover similarities and possible relations between those two contexts and specifics of the real.
