Ceren Oykut âs work is an extract from Belvu project, 2003. Belvu is based on a historically significant building located in Istanbul. Few years ago during the metro construction, the construction company damaged the foundation of the building so it was evacuated. Now it trembles and slowly falls down. Oykut worked on that building for 6 months after the evacuation, she engraved dancing figures to the floor by burning the wood. This dangerous act on a temporary ground, which resonates by itself, implies a resistance. The dancing figures add one more layer to the memory of the building, which will be shattered soon. .
