Presenting a selection that invites reflection on the boundaries of seeing, recording, and interpreting, Photographer invites the viewer to question the nature of the gaze, the perception of reality, and the memory of the image.
As part of the program prepared in parallel with the Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done” exhibition, documentaries about master photographers Sebastião Salgado, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Josef Koudelka, and Bill Cunningham — featured in Rifat’s photography book Akla Kara Arası (Between Black and White) — will be showcased, alongside two iconic fictional films that have left a lasting mark on cinema history.
Among the films to be screened at the Pera Museum Auditorium are: The Salt of the Earth, which traces Salgado’s journey from human tragedies to the natural world; Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Rear Window, where a photographer becomes entangled in a mystery; Michelangelo Antonioni’s masterpiece Blow-Up, centered around the trail of a randomly taken photograph; Koudelka: Crossing the Same River, accompanying legendary photographer Josef Koudelka’s explorations among the ancient ruins of the Mediterranean; and Bill Cunningham New York, focusing on the legendary New York fashion photographer.
Additionally, Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye, focusing on Cartier-Bresson’s life and photographic vision, will be available for online screening on the Pera Museum’s website.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

When the Royal Academy of Arts offered Stephen Chambers the opportunity to produce new work for a focused exhibition in the Weston Rooms of the Main Galleries, Chambers turned to print and the possibilities it offered.
This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
