Trace the senses
by Alev Ozdindar, Manolya Ozdemir
How do you find your way in Kapalıcarsı?
Traces the senses..
Kapalıcarsı is the place where the traces of the senses guide.Time flows differently for everybody, sounds invite everyone to one direction; different smells drift everyone to different doors or courts while a different colour winks at everyone.
A smell takes your hand while you are passing through a door and you drift along the water pipe cafes or you find yourself in the spices. Sometimes the hammer sounds coming from the inns, the rhtym of the dances of tea spoons in tea glasses become a needle to find the route in Kapalıcarsı. Sometimes colours allure you or from one to another so your route may be the glamouring colour of a red native costume or a blue mantilla.
Kapalıcarsı is the place where you curtain off the history. You find your way smelling the history, listening to the sound of the colours and feeling the grains..
