The French philosopher Guy Debord proposes the act of drift to escape from the routine of everyday life (1955). Drifting to the side streets, secluded corners and abandoned places to go beyond the daily roads for necessities and needs causes people to perceive the city differently and creatively. If psychogeography affects and even determines human psychology, it is necessary to move away from routines and certain parts of the city that will destroy the hope of life.

The best tactic of the escape strategy in the city is to go around thinking like a flange with the camera and take photos. Because when street photographs are shared or exhibited, the spirit of the city can be discovered collectively. The project, consisting of photographs taken by disappearing with the camera in Istanbul and Sakarya, is the visual documentation of the drifting at the bottom corner points from inside to outside.
