Küçükbakkalköy is a province in Istanbul. By Marc Auge's term, Küçükbakkalköy is a non-place where effects of urban transformation can be easily recognisable. It is a province that crushed it's past cultural existence forms and build a satellite town on it. "Küçükbakkalköy" depicts the three different timescapes of a province's past and current times. This depiction emerges by an illustration that weaved on a carpet.

​

The design on the carpet divides into some sections. Each section illustrates a different existence from a different timescape in past and current. The waves and fishes at the bottom of the carpet design remarks the very past of Küçükbakkalköy when there used to be a river where people go there for fishing and extract gold. Just above on it we see woman dancing around a fire. The smoke of the fire rises above and circles around the large buildings on the top of the carpet design. These buildings represent the building trade that emerges so fast and viciously in Küçükbakkalköy area. At the middle of the design we see a group of wild boars. The wild boars represent a weird case happened in Istanbul in past few years. Forests has been destroyed as a part of big city projects and some wild boars which lost their natural habitat crossed the Bosphorus by swimming and come to the city center. They rushed around in city streets in panic and scared the people away. This case of instant emerging of wildlife into the modern city life is trespassing of borders by “the others”.

"Küçükbakkalköy"  carries the geographical and social memory of the province by relocating the symbol of deterritorialized and unwanted ones into it's center.
