The Fourth Stage series is based on two simultaneous events in Eryaman district of Ankara in 2006. A systematic and organized lynching initiative is implemented by the neighborhood against transgender individuals living in Eryaman in April. As a result of these attacks, they leave their homes and are exiled to different parts of Ankara. Again at that time, Eryaman came to the agenda due to mass housing corruption and irregularities. The Fourth Stage series combines these two events with each other through the photos of real estate in that region and questions the role of our living spaces.
