Nayır - Nolamaz

This is taken from old Turkish movies. Turkish movies used to be dubbed and mostly by the same people and there was this man qyho added "N" at the beginning of some words. Nayır is actually "hayır" meaning "no". Nolamaz is actually "olamaz" meaning "it can't be".
I found this one in the street leading from Tunel to the Galata Tower.

Urban Guerilla

Next to the previous posted stencil you can also see this one. It's a pretty good one too.

Corporation

I particularly like this one of a business man portrayed as devilish but saint at the same time. The Paper it is sprayed on is part of the concept. I saw another one upper in the same street but it was at night so I don't have a photo but it's the same. This is in the street leading to the Galata Tower if coming from Tünel.
Thanks to Serhan, this is the reproduction of the poster from the documentary movie "The Corporation" from Directors Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott.

Gübür

I found this one near Tünel at the other end of the Istiklal street in Taksim. It must have taken a good time to carve those letters out. You can read the onomatopoeia word "gübür" many times that could probably be translated as "grumble" (thx Elif) or anything to express a noise. 30x30 cm.

Fingerprint

Big fingerprint found in Tunel near Taksim. This is actually a pretty good one, think of the work it must have taken to cut all the lines. The inscription below reads "Fişlenme!" meaning "Don't get filed". 40x30 cm.

ExoCiti

If you take a look at the post from 2 days ago you can see 3 different stencils on the wall. One of them is "Exociti", you can see some in the Cihangir Area as well. Especially in the Turnacıbaşı street but most of them have been "terminated" by now. Made with an A5 formated stencil, exociti would be a purposed mispelling of the word exocity. "Exo" meaning "outside", "city" meaning "city".
You can learn more about this group by visiting their website here.

Spiral Hand

I found those hands in the Beyoglu District around Taksim.

This one was (is no more) on a marble step near the Galatasary Turkish Bath











This double colored one was (is no more) in Kartal Sokak near the Urban Café.











This reverse one is (still) near Tünel by the public bathroom along with some others.
