Strange Abandoned Deranged explores the complexities of Turkey’s first eco-hotel, drawing connections between memory and space, consumption and destruction, as well as state and politics. Through its absurd voice, it crafts a circus-like panorama. Standing amidst an abandoned state land with a history that echoes a mockumentary—filled with countless tragic incidents and boundless absurdities from Turkey’s past—it becomes evident that to chase the controversial story of Naturland Eco Park is to journey through the last thirty years of a country.
