The field we worked for this year was on the Sincan-Kayaş railway line. First, we experienced the whole Sincan-Kayaş line. During this time, we made a division of labor between my friends in the group. Two people from the left and right corners of the train, we experienced the change of land along the line while our other friend, she examined how human density changes during these times at every station. After experiencing the whole line, we went down to our own station and started to work. The station we were given was Ankara Garı Station. The benefit of this stop was that we could easily see the level differences on the terrain when we cross-section because our stop was located between both the new and the old railway station, and the rest areas had buildings and roads. In this way, we created a cross-section in which the level difference can be easily noticed.
Some photos from Ankara Garı Station :
Ankara Garı Station’s (19 minutes and 20 seconds after the Kayaş Station) cross-section:
At the end of the assignment, they asked us to tell us what we had experienced during the train journey. There was no limit to this way of expression. That’s why I made a photo collage about how the slope of the terrain near the train line changed during my train journey. My focus in this collage was that the slope of the land near the train line decreased from the start station (Kayaş) to the last station (Sincan) as time went on. And we could experience our own station along the length of just walking.
