From the Beginning - Baştan Başlamak

From the Beginning consists of sound, video and an intricate map of networks. The project has been carried out in 7 different neighbourhoods of Istanbul, with 60 children aged 4-14. In the project, children were invited to select and interpret a verse from their favourite song. Their interpretations were recorded and combined, then transformed into a single track while a video streaming in sync with the audio was edited to make each of the verses visible. Places, children, songs and sentences that display the process and the conceptual motivation of the project have also been mapped to show their relation to one another.
