In this art project, the artist focused on who the Camondo family is, their history, and which family member stands out with what characteristics. The main sources of the research are writings about the family; His books were The Last of the Camondos, The Camondos, The Fall of a Dynasty and Letter to Camondo. The Camondo family's own photographs, found photographs and research texts about the Camondo family were used in the project. Old photographs of the family were colored, found photographs were manipulated and covered with gold leaf. The artist brought together the images he obtained with research texts about the Camondo family. As a result of the project, the story of the Camondo family was placed in the corridors of De Camondo Galata Hotel, which the Camondo family used to use as their home. With this work, which will be exhibited permanently at De Camondo Hotel Galata, visitors to the hotel will be able to get to know the family by examining this visualized story about the family.
