„Infamous Library“ (video, 2006) narrates the story of 12 people who were kidnapped in September 1980 by an unidentified organization and held captive in a library for two years. In this video-interview, March, one of the 12 kidnapped people, answers questions directed at him from behind the camera.

​

For the 11th Istanbul Biennial (2009) I turned Infamous Library into a news article and had it published in two national newspapers, Radikal and Hürriyet Daily News. The text was in the form of a news story told by one of the abductees, and while the newspapers could be bought at news stands, they were also disseminated at the biennial venue.

​

Infamous Library was also exhibited at Istanbul Rampa Gallery in 2014 as an installation. I then created a library of banned books, comprising an installation of 400 banned books in Turkey’s infamous history of censorship.
