TALENT and GLOBALIZATION

A beautiful contribution to humanity from a young talented person who always hoped one day he could become a professional piano player. A turkish poem binds together 20countries. This is also globalisation.... not only produce in china to sell cheaper.
As the song from Belle and Sebastian, "I did not see it coming" says - "BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY, MONEY MAKES THE WHEEL AND THE WORLD GO ROUND"-
My personal and little tribute to an artist I admire. Mr. YOSUN CENGIZ. I wish one day you can make your dream come true..........




I was thinking about this project for long time and dreaming about connecting people in one poem which has universal sense. Finally found a turkish poem written by Orhan Veli. It is adressed to humanity in the very beginning and thought it would be a perfect choice for my video. Project was shot in USA, in Türkiye and on the plane between those two countries. The poem was voiced by 31 people from 20 different country. There was no turkish participant until I recorded my grandma in her home. We commemorate Orhan Veli once again on his 59 th death anniversary (November 14)

Thanks to all participants all around the world -- Yosun Evren Cengiz
