We are in Taksim Square watching the aftermath of this last mass demonstration in the city, before the COVID-19 pandemic. Two voices reflect on what they see on the screen. A child playing with a red balloon, youngsters dancing on the street, people taking photos, Marina Abramović’s first exhibition in Istanbul, … As the narrative unfolds, images take new meaning: These are screen recordings of Istanbul municipalities’ 7/24 live and open-access "Touristic Cameras" taken on the 8th of March, Women’s Day 2020. MARCH 8, 2020: A MEMOIR is a multi-voiced desktop essay/documentary attempting to find the blind spots of such images, traveling in time via screen recordings.
