in between
'in between' is a performance created through interventions on the surfaces of istanbul's streets that contain cracks, cuts, and scratches, as part of the 'Istanbul's Ulysses' project, inspired by the concept of 'co-existence.' wandering in a present that carries the past, it invites us to look at the shadows, not the light, to the gaps that make us open to others. it's like weaving connections that horizontally link us to other places and times.
the performance, which took place over ten days in various neighborhoods like beyoğlu, tarlabaşı, and kumkapı, was recorded by alper şen and can be followed on the @istanbulunulyssesi instagram account with their respective addresses.
