@montanasimone / when I was filming #radicalhospitality, I left Turkey for Berlin and put down my camera. I spent my days in Turkish-owned thrift shops, listening to German techno and going through entire shopping carts full of old photographs - seemingly from an older generation of Germans. So many of them were from the places I had just come from - I recognized Paros, the island in Greece where we had just made wine with 3 generations of Iorgos'; the lands of Palestine now riddled with checkpoints; even Turkish vacations. In this Turkish shop in Berlin were Germans in Turkey, but also in their own wars on their own land - early Brownie camera shots of soldiers, work camps, wartime families - and the strange mundane intimacy of discarded photographs and business cards - the owners are dead, the collection wrenched from its narrative - but the story is now shared and interwoven. Making a zine of them today for the opening of #radicalhospitality tomorrow.
