status of a garbage bag

This project follows the journey of garbage—from consumption to waste—in Istanbul, Turkey. The accompanying documentary focuses on the socioeconomic differences among three districts: Fikirtepe, Maltepe, and Arnavutköy.

​

Through field trips and thorough garbage analysis, the video unveils the hidden characteristics of each community, highlighting how consumption patterns and local economic conditions shape the environment.

 

By bridging the gap between people and raw data, this documentary fosters a deeper understanding of the city's complexities and encourages viewers to reflect on their own impact on the environment.
