Press Release (PDF)
In 2014 Fogel was a visiting artist in the mountain village Bahçecik, outside the city of Izmit, Turkey. He began his time exploring mosques and hillsides and was soon drawn to a set of twelve half-built, uncharacteristically modern homes situated on the periphery of the village. Fogel felt a parity to these structures; both he and they felt equally out of place in Bahçecik, existing in a delicate equilibrium of alienated potential. For three weeks Fogel used this space as a studio, as a material, and eventually as a set for Bahçecik Bateri.
