As part of the event series “Nimm Platz – Kultur am Neumarkt” (Take a seat – Culture at Neumarkt), Cologne's Cultural Office invited the Fotobuch-Quartett (FBQ) to hold its own event in the temporary pavilion. The FBQ decided on a single theme for the event: all four photo books deal with Cologne's twin city Istanbul. Frank Dürrach and Damian Zimmermann invited Turkish-born photographer Sebahat Sahverdi as a guest.
The fourth and final book in this event is “Güle Güle” by Jean-Marc Caimi and Valentina Piccinni, and it is probably also the most unusual in the series. It is a very personal approach, especially to the residents, and also deals with the changes in the city.
