A project research about emigration paths between Berlin and Istanbul, and how this migration pattern affects the development of the two cities as well as social networking, and emotional attachments.

At the same time, the artist uses the project to dwell on her biography as a foreigner in Germany. Starting from the concept of “Huzün” and melancholy or nostalgia, the artist creates a sound diary of all the moments in which she missed her homeland.

On the occasion of the exhibition in the public Bebel Square in Berlin, she presented a video projection of black and white photos sent by Turkish families to their relatives living in Berlin during the 1960s and 1970s. 

The big size projection on the wall of the formal Royal Library, together with the soundtrack of the artist´s voice listing the moments of her loneliness in Berlin, created an emotional environment. 

In the installation, she also exhibited interviews with Turkish immigrants in Berlin “Looking for Istanbul in Berlin!”, that has been filmed during the Turkish market in Berlin-Kreuzberg, and maps of Berlin immigrants in Istanbul, made in collaboration with the Kadir University in Istanbul.
