-I imagine summer days in Istanbul can become too hot to move while in Germany winter days can be very cold and long – especially when you're a child and internet had not made it's way to your village yet. I remember hanging around bored with my siblings and with nothing more lying around than a sheet of paper and a pen. My sister would start to write down a sentence or to draw some elements, fold the paper so that we would only a snippet pass it on to me. I would repeat the schema, trying to be fanciful and pass it on... and after a while we would have a funny, surreal story or painting.

I remember hanging around bored with my siblings and with nothing more lying around than a sheet of paper and a pen. My sister would start to write down a sentence or to draw some elements, fold the paper so that we would only be able to read a snippet and then she would pass it on to me. I would repeat the schema, trying to be fanciful and pass it on again... and after a while we would have a funny, surreal story or painting.
 How would it be like if this playfully method would be used to discover Istanbul by transfering it to the medium of video and the internet? Several people - maybe strangers - create one patchwork story with only a limited knowledge of the contributions of the others.
