SONG: "God's Away on Business!" from Tom Waits
"I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby for a buck, for a buck. If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch, You're out of luck, you're out of luck. Ship is sinking. The ship is sinking. There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room. The poor, the lame, the blind. Who are the ones that we kept in charge? Killers, thieves and lawyers. God's away, God's away. God's away on business, business..."

“There were days, rainy gray days, when the streets of Brooklyn were worthy of a photograph, every window the lens of a Leica, the view grainy and immoble.

We lay in each other's arms, still awkward but happy, exchanging breathless kisses into sleep.”

THEATRE: III. Richard by Kevin Spacey
"Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey owns the stage as Shakespeare’s outrageous villain Richard III. At the climax of the Wars of the Roses, Richard watches his brother ascend the throne of England and confides in us—with all the profound bitterness of an outcast born with a hunchback and malformed leg—his intention to seize the crown. Navigating an imposing assemblage of some of Shakespeare’s greatest female characters, Richard—played brilliantly by the mercurial and mordantly funny Spacey—lusts for power, assuring his own bloody rise and fall."

EXHIBITION: Sophie Calle with “For the Last and First Time” in SSM, Istanbul
"Calle asked writer and filmmaker Paul Auster to "invent a fictive character which I would attempt to resemble" and served as the model for the character Maria in Auster’s novel Leviathan. This mingling of fact and fiction so intrigued Calle that she created the works of art created by the fictional character, which included a series of color-coordinated meals.
Auster later challenged Calle to create and maintain a public amenity in New York. The artist's response was to augment a telephone booth (on the corner of Greenwich and Harrison streets in Manhattan) with a note pad, a bottle of water, a pack of cigarettes, flowers, cash, and sundry other items. Every day, Calle cleaned the booth and restocked the items, until the telephone company removed and discarded them. This project is documented in The Gotham Handbook.

THEATRE: "Best Bits On Our Side" in Santral Istanbul, Tonight!!!
"In a country of cowards it’s a crime to love and the guilty are imprisoned. Two different couples, four different people, a single victim. A startling play about loving, morality, freedom and its price. Berkun Oya finished writing the play on the International Residency programme at London’s Royal Court Theatre and premiered the work at Krek in December 2010."

LIFE: My Name from Richard Brautigan
"I guess you are kind of curious as to who I am, but I am one of those who do not have a regular name. My name depends on you. Just call me whatever is in your mind.
If you are thinking about something that happened a long time ago: Somebody asked you a question and you did not know the answer.
That is my name.
Perhaps it was raining very hard.
That is my name.
Or somebody wanted you to do something. You did it. Then they told you what you did was wrong-"Sorry for he mistake,"-and you had to do something else.
That is my name.
Perhaps it was a game that you played when you were a child or something that came idly into your mind when you were old and sitting in a chair near the window.
That is my name.
Or you walked someplace. There were flowers all around.
That is my name.
Perhaps you stared into a river. There was somebody near you who loved you. They were about to touch you. You could feel this before it happened. Then it happened.
That is my name.
Or you heard someone calling from a great distance. Their voice was almost an echo.
That is my name.
Perhaps you were lying in bed, almost ready to go to sleep and you laughed at something, a joke unto yourself, a good way to end the day.
That is my name.
Or you were eating something good and for a second forgot what you were eating, but still went on, knowing it was good.
That is my name.
Perhaps it was around midnight and the fire tolled like a bell inside the stove.
That is my name.
Or you felt bad when she said that thing to you. She could have told it to someone else: Somebody who was more familiar with her problems.
That is my name.
Perhaps the trout swam in the pool but the river was only eight inches wide and the moon shone on iDEATH and the watermelon fields glowed out of proportion, dark and the moon seemed to rise from every plant.
That is my name.
And I wish "all people" would leave me alone."

MOVIE: Norwegian Wood
"Love, death, the loss of innocence, heartbreak and awakening sexuality forms the basis for Haruki Murakami’s groundbreaking 1987 novel, and this is the first time a major work of Murakami is adapted for the big screen. With the romantic melancholy of the Beatles song that gave it its name, Norwegian Wood was adapted by Tran Anh Hung, who had directed The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The film is set in Tokyo, in the late 1960s, and follows Toru Watanabe who is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko. Watanabe lives with the influence of death everywhere, until Midori, a young, vivacious girl marches into his life."

It turns out this entire process has been a great lesson, experience, and project in itself – more on that later.

It all comes together in the pictures from the personal, stolen and subconscious archive.
