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 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 - probably strangers - create one patchwork story with only a limited knowledge of the contributions of the others.
===Concept===
The game will start by recording a short sequence. This video will be shown to a different person, who – inspired by the sequence – will shoot a video in his own environment, always with the question in mind how the story could continue. And again only the last videosequence will be passed on to the next person and so on and so on and so on...
We would gain lots of different video sequences from a variety of environments  and visual approaches and combine it to an interactive, surreal narration. The stylistic realization of the recording process shall be free and organized with only a few necessary structures to encourage the freedom of associative visualization and to gain a diverse synthesis of video elements - diverse as Istanbul is said to be.
