“Ne var, ne yok?” is an old-fashioned Turkish greeting that translates
roughly to “What is, what isn't?” These conglomerate posters represent
the culmination of a series of five typographic experiments, each
investigating critical aspects of form and counterform (Fig.
11- 86
).
Literally, what is, and what isn't? The formal challenge was to
incorporate each and every one of hundreds of hand-drawn sketches
they created, organize and perhaps resolve a few of them, and
project this essential question (Figs.
11- 87
and
11- 88
). Inspired by the
introduction to Ara Güler's seminal book,
Memories of Istanbul
