ISTANBUL — Years before the earthquake actually happened, Ci Demi was taking photographs of it. The Turkish artist’s first series, Will the World End in the Daytime (2017–19), imagined signs of the impending disaster in eerily off-kilter urban scenes: a bouquet of bent rebar, an abandoned photo album, a cityscape mirrored in stacks of concrete blocks.
“I’ve always looked at Istanbul like a city living in a countdown, but we don’t know when that countdown started,” Demi told Hyperallergic.
