Pınar Öğrenci’s multi-screen video installation “Led Light City” is composed of scrolling LED signs which constantly change the city imagery in Istanbul. The videos were shot in the busy business districts of Yusufpaşa, Fatih, Laleli, Taksim, Tarlabaşı, Nişantaşı, Karaköy, Üsküdar and Mecidiyeköy, where Arab communities in the city are most visible. The installation, in which every screen represents one of these districts, explores apparent relationships between the demographic changes, migration, architecture and trade, as well as local use of language and text.
