TURN NOTE: Words on TURN 2017

In accordance with the objective of creating a new society where TURN exists, TURN NOTE attempts to gather words that can act as the means for people of different backgrounds to interact, document and share.

For this second publication, we re-read, re-listened , and recorded numerous words from the year’s events, daily reports, email exchanges and so on. Moreover, on each page we included explanatory notes so that the reader could better imagine the circumstances in which the words quoted were spoken.
We decided on the subtitle “Words on TURN.” This is because the words we collected gave the impression of being based on feelings, ideas and thoughts that went beyond subjective thinking; words which came from touching upon and having contact with something other than the speaker/writer’s own existence.
