Exceptional Night Stories w/ Öykü Baştaş

UnframedNovember 21, 2020

For Öykü Baştaş, the night is what we all have in common! Describing it as a secret partnership, Öykü sees the night as a utopia “where everyone stays still at the same time, dreams at the same time, or has fun at the same time until the morning”

How do you separate night from the day?

When I see the moonlight in the sky, then it’s the night.

How does the night start for you?

If I’m at home, it’s when I lie comfortably on my couch, if I’m going out, the night starts when I find the outfit in which I feel my best!

To be a world citizen or not to be… What are the criteria for you?

I think there are no criteria for being a world citizen, we are all people of the world. Just because we’ve drawn our planet with some boundaries doesn’t change that.

How would you describe the night?

The night is like what all humanity has in common. It’s like a secret partnership where everyone stays still at the same time, dreams at the same time, or has fun at the same time until the morning. The indoors are full, the streets are empty. As if everyone had a secret agreement.
