X Wohnungen / X Apartments / X Daireler

performance & graphic design

A project turning private houses and public spaces into play sites, X Apartments will be realized inTarlabasi in conjunction with the Festival. Handed with written directions at the starting point, the audience will take a tour in the neighborhood in small groups, discovering an installation or a short playperformed by an artist or a collective at every stop.The journey between the venues itself will turnintoa part of the game, guiding the audience to observe the architecture and the urban environment. Thus,the project will lead to a new experience redefining the neighborhood’s and the audience’s perception of Tarlabaşı and its inhabitants.

Project by Sven Heier, Patrick Wymann, Dilek Altuntas
