His latest work, "A Bit of Dirt," features an operatic video installation based on avant-garde Polish writer Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz's Isatiability. Moskowitz's employment of projection suggests a Lacanian, pre-mirror stage of identity, where there exists a fluidity of boundaries and "You" cannot easily be distinguished from "I." More generally, A Bit of Dirt implicates all of us, who, like Moskowitz's characters, sit comfortably on our evening couches and critique the current state of affairs without engaging in concrete action.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. This week we are sharing Ziem’s work inspired by Istanbul and “the East”!

Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
