Framed in headlines as “The first Turkish Person with AIDS”, Murtaza Elgin was diagnosed HIV positive in 1985. His doctor exposed him to the media, which turned his life into a public matter. He was even briefly forced into quarantine by the Minister of Health. When he died in 1992, his body was washed with bleach, wrapped in nylon and buried with lime in a zinc coffin 2.5 meters underground. Only two people attended his funeral. The Visit returns to Murtaza Elgin's burial site to excavate his life and death, repoliticise his legacy, and reclaim him as an abandoned ancestor.
