Mutual Issues, Inventive Acts, 2008 is a project by Ahmet Ögüt based on precise observations of daily life on Istanbul’s streets. The artist shows eight large-format photographs in which found scenes – for example, a man trying to repair a street lamp by standing on two ladders, one on top of the other – were restaged in various European cities, as well as a selection of drawings of other inventive plots. These practical ideas for adversities of all kinds seem, at first glance, rather absurd, but they point to the conditions under which people live in their respective social and economic contexts.
