Instanbul Endless House project: Anali

A delicate and fragile assemblage of everyday industrial and domestic materials — aluminium, glass, plastic, and paper — is brought together with a fragment of comic strip, creating a quiet dialogue between the weightless and the structural. Kiaer references Frederick Kiesler's utopian and unrealized Endless House project, filtered through the specific cultural lens of Istanbul, weaving together architectural imagination with ephemeral, discarded matter. The work exists in a state of gentle incompleteness, evoking ideas of failure, possibility, and the perpetual deferral of an ideal.
