Stage_0 Travelogue traces an intimate visual narrative shaped by Murat. The exhibition begins with a series of photographs he took from hotel rooms during his travels across world cities. These quiet, observational images capture the first moment of arrival, the suspended instant between unfamiliarity and recognition, and form the emotional point of departure for the journey that follows.

As the exhibition unfolds, the photographs transition into three-dimensional prints of projects Murat developed in those same cities. Together, the works map a dialogue between personal experience and professional practice, showing how places first encountered through a window frame later evolve into built ideas. Travel becomes research and memory becomes form.

An additional room features a video installation that documents a single day in Murat’s life. Filmed during the period when he began work on the Haliç Shipyard (Tersane İstanbul) project, the piece offers a rare glimpse into the rhythm of his daily routine, following him from morning to evening and reflecting how observation gradually turns into creation. The video presents architecture not only as a process of drawing and building but as a way of moving through the world with curiosity and attention.

Through its layered structure, Stage_0 Travelogue reflects how Murat understands and interprets the world: by looking, by moving, by remembering and by reimagining what has been seen.
