Portrait of Musa Dagdeviren

Musa Dagdeviren’s work is anchored to a single dining room: Çiya Sofrası in Istanbul, Turkey. That fixed setting is the point. In a trade defined by movement, his current role as chef-owner keeps the restaurant at the center of the record, where city, kitchen, and ownership all point to the same place. The career history sits inside Çiya Sofrası rather than around it. For Musa Dagdeviren, the venue is not a stop on the way to somewhere else; it is the named site of the profession itself.

Restaurant: Çiya Sofrası. City: Istanbul, Turkey. Career setting: the restaurant is the named venue in his career history. Read this as a study in concentration.
