Abstract
Space is the “envelop of time” (Lefebvre, 1991, pp.339-40) and “(Social) space is a (social) product” (Lefebvre, 1991, p.26) same as Varosha, which is an abounded city since 1974, at Famagusta, known to the Greeks as Ammohostos, meaning “buried in the sand” (2020). Varosha has political, economic, and geographical importance for the Island and Europe. Thus, after the war of 1974, it is fenced off with barbed wires and is guarded by Turkish soldiers. In other words, it is impossible to cross the UN Buffer Zone (“Green Line”) and see the inside of Varosha. Signs/photos warn people to cross the fences and take photos and movies. Thus, this analysis aims to analyze the photos to reveal the hidden meanings of Varosha, because of this the writer uses Barthes's theory to find the connotation, denotation, and Saussure's theory to find the signifier and signified meanings. Then, the analysis will be supported by Color theory and Althusser's Apparatuses. Shortly, the paper tries to answer the question of what do the signs in Varosha’s photos mean according to Semiotics, Ideology and Color Theories? Consequently, in the end, the study shows that the real inhabitants/Cypriots miss the old days of Varosha.
