The series titled Last Stop Before the Sun brings together found objects collected from Ülker Sokak, which is one of the important LGBTI+ resistance sites in Turkey. These found objects, opens up a debate of the bitter sweet moments that we experience in our homes again by intersecting personal and public areas. Also the series takes it’s name from the poem of Ceyhan Fırat, one of the trans individuals who lived in Ülker Sokak in 90’s.
