Abstract: This article reports on a metamorphosis. As a participant in a Marie Curie project called ‘Trans-Making’, the author spent three weeks in Istanbul to see which of three abstract ideas he had considered in advance might match, challenge or subvert existing depictions of one of the most complex metropolitan cities in the world. In clarifying his project proposal, he not only had to face his own private orientalism, but also found that, to come to a basic understanding of the unique metropolis that is Istanbul, he had to observe the anxious present political and cultural changes in everyday life through the longue durée historical lens.
