Flatland
Photographer and artist Aydin Büyütkaş has created a surreal view of Istanbul using a camera-equipped drone.
His series, titled "Flatland", was inspired by science fiction books — especially Edwin Abbott's "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" — that brought wild visions of imaginary worlds to his mind. He decided he wanted to bring them to life with innovative photography.
Büyütkaş carefully planned each of these images using a 3D software that allowed him to explore all possible shooting locations throughout Istanbul.
Below are the surreal photos, which he said took two months of planning.
Artist's Statement
" We live in places that most of the times don’t draw our attention, places that transform our memories, places that the artist gives another dimension; where the perceptions that generally crosses our minds will be demolished and new ones will arise, these works aim to leave the viewer alone with a surprising visuality ironic as well, multidimensional romantic point of view. "
