object collecting_the balcony stage

I was soon get used of being peeped when walking in the narrow alleys of Istanbul neighbourhoods by those curious eyes behind the shutters or hiding in balconies.To them, i was a novel alien visitor;to me,they were like performers of various life scene. It is interesting to find out how an original building facade was turned into a live stage.It might be a working place of housewives in Gulensu where they can chat and hanging clothes in the lazy afternoon sun, or an advertising display for those"ladies" in tarlabasi's ambiguous evening, or a spiritual communicating space between someone inside and the entire city,which in his view easily but keep in distant always.
moreover, the stage is 24-hour operation.A silent show will begin in the midnight,acted by lights,shadows and those left behind.
