Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • In German — subtitles on.

The story

German musician Alexander Hacke explores Istanbul's rich music culture and attempts to create a portrait of Turkey through music genres. On this journey, he encounters a mosaic that covers countless genres from rock to arabesque, electronic to hip-hop.

The look

A few frames, chosen rather than collected.
