Georgiou had long been curious about Turkey , and when his visit to Istanbul in 2003 coincided with bombings he determined to learn more about the issues involved . The eventual theme to his work in Turkey gradually emerged as he observed bleak new collective housing springing up for an incongruous urbanisation of the rugged Anatolian plateau . The resulting work , '' Fault Lines/Turkey/East / West , '' explores the notion of an East/West division and the additional and complex fault lines – religious/secular , tradition/modernity , and more – that cross the Turkey of today
